2025 was a vastly different year for me in terms of pace and production. After moving and taking up a job, it disrupted my rhythm. I was only able to participate in a handful of events and made significantly less new work. Social media became a chore as a result, with nothing new to show for or announce. But I am proud to say I hosted my first ever workshop this year, and I had my first interview ever with VoyageLA Magazine! I do need help with social media because I failed to post about them 😞 I posted the link in my bio if you want to read it.
Despite the changes, I pushed myself to put in the extra effort for the holidays, and I’m so glad I did! I’m touched by how many people showed up to support my work this past month. I’m now more driven to plan ahead for 2026 - more workshops, more events, and producing new work. Thank you everyone!

I’ve been so busy with life lately that I forgot to post an exciting announcement 😅 I have my very own shelf at @6thanddetroit ! I stopped by yesterday to restock my nightlights 💡🌷 thank you to those who stopped by and bought them all, I’m glad that they are still a hit!
@6thanddetroit owner Michelle does a wonderful job of curating such beautiful vintage pieces, from clothing to jewelry, kitchen items and furniture. I’m in such good company with @niceone.vintage@sang__house@joohwa.archives and many more. Do yourself a favor and stop by, you won’t be disapponted!
✨ 2024 was a year to remember! Can you believe it was my first year selling my work? I started off 2024 with barely 200 followers, no website and no idea what I was trying to achieve other than to share my art and make some money while figuring out my life. I’m grateful for all the ppl I’ve met, all the opportunities that came my way, all the challenges and growth that pushed me to create, and all the love my work has received.. there’s so much more I could say. I don’t take any of this for granted. Thank you ♥️
