Passions

As a stay at home mom to 3 boys I have found my happy balance between motherhood and my creative side by always having DIY projects to focus on in my downtime. Whether it's painting rooms or furniture, re-covering chairs or decorating rooms as my children grow, fashion and decor has always been a part of my everyday life. Drawing most of my inspiration from nature, I spend as much time as I can outside gardening, hiking or kayaking.  I'm excited to start this next chapter of my merchandising career.
