I started this space as a way to share the work that’s shaped me;

the writing that came from navigating grief after losing my partner, Kodi, and the art that’s helped me find myself again. My poems explore the messy, honest parts of being human: loss, identity, love, survival, and all the quiet moments that change us without warning. My design work comes from the same place — intentional, emotional, and rooted in storytelling.

If you’ve ever carried grief, if you’re figuring out who you are, if you love deeply and feel everything a little too loudly, or if you’re just here because you enjoy poetry and thought-provoking design. I’m really glad you’re here.

Take your time, explore, and make yourself at home.
And if you hear a crash in the background, it’s probably the cat.
