Feeling all sorts of sweet reflections as I step into 35(!!!) Looking back at all the magic and wonder, valleys and peaks, mystery, movings and LOVE🤍 So much to be grateful for here on this dancing lil ball immersed in the big blue sky.
A fun little tribute to SD and Juju the van 🚐 by @alecwalshvisuals
Little moments that feel like big ones 🤍 A story we’ve been slowly telling and getting to know for the past 8 years.
Since our start in 2018, we’ve dreamed of sharing this craft and the people behind it in a way that goes deeper than a product or a post on social media…
In a way that matches the rhythm of life here: slow, intentional, rooted.
A way to honor the many traditions, the hands and the craft of the beautiful, talented humans we’ve gotten to know living here in Intag, Ecuador.
We’re taking the first steps of this next chapter and it feels like the most honest way we know how to tell it 🫶🏽 excited and honored to have you here with us along the way.

Hi friends 🤍🐛 love u.
There’s something about this season that feels especially tender. I’ve been noticing the beauty everywhere: the morning sounds of mockingbird outside my door, the feeling when a friend stops by, lays on your couch and listens, the unexpected kindness of strangers, or the way the light hits my window at 9am. It’s like I’m watching my own life unfold in real-time—sometimes in awe, sometimes overwhelmed, but always alwayssss noticing.
It’s been a big year of growth for me. I think I’m on the edge of something new. A quiet evolution. One that’s asking me to slow down, feel deeply, and listen. I’ve found myself reflecting a lot lately—on what was, what is, and what’s coming. The shifts in my personal life, the growth of my little business and goals, the ways I’m slowly merging my passions with purpose, learning along the way and doing things differently. It’s messy and beautiful and uncertain, and somehow exactly where I need to be.
I know many of us are navigating your own transformations, too. We always will be. I want you to know you’re not alone. Whether you’re building a business, building a home, or simply building a new version of yourself—this in-between space, this not-quite-there-yet feeling, this is part of the magic. At least I’m telling myself that.
I wear so many hats in this game of life and still don’t know how I got here🤍 but one thing I know for certain is that it’s mostly because of the loving hearts and helping hands of the people that surround me. Thank you for being here with me, my friends, and always remember to hug your people, look around and see the little things. Kiss kiss love you bbs 🐇🐇 #journalEmtry
Syd said “Let’s surf in Senegal”, so we went to surf in Senegal! Here’s a capture of the trip from the trusty ‘ol handy cam and in old school fashion, a year later. 🌊 📹 🤍🇸🇳 Over those few weeks, Syd and I shared two boards, one phone and lots of taxis, struggling to communicate in French or Wolof, and somehow, we got by. Bruised up, sea urchined and sunburnt, we shared some of the most rewarding waves of our life together. This trip represented a lot to me—pushing me in the best and worst ways—and eventually revealing big lessons, the kinda ones we can only access at the edge of our comfort zones.
So much love to all the generous humans we shared time with in Senegal and to Syd for being my #1 surf bud and friend. Another trip for the (growing) family album 🌍🫶🏽🤍🥲 #senegal #senegalsurf #handycam
