if you’ve been here for a while, you’ve probably seen a mix of things: design projects, @justmakespace , craft experiments, hosting, travel, pole, and whatever new hobby i’ve decided to pick up that week.
thought i’d do a mini introduction to who i am, what i do, and some of the curiosities that connects it all.
anyway, hi 👋🏽

three things— one, @communityweek.nyc had me in a beautifully validating conversation with fellow community builders this past week. thank you @on.weeknights@sugary.nyc for gathering us. and everyone that was part of this conversation — @recessgrove@joustsociety@storytellnyc@57.nyc
two, our next @justmakespace gathering is next sunday and we’re going to be rolling around in grass and drawing each other at the park (byo-drawing tools ☀️🌳, link in bio to rsvp)
three, i’m wearing one of our merch t-shirt. i designed them based on the visual identity i’ve been developing for us since last october. they’re fun and playful and fit my name tag very satisfyingly (link in bio to shop)

i started writing post-event founders’ notes and reflections in our substack newsletter (link in bio to subscribe). i love leaving reminders to come back to, for future recordings. 💛
i decided it was time to give up the “birthday sad girl” plot, so i hosted some of the people nearest and dearest to me for a murder mystery birthday party to wrap up january, and it was honestly better than I could have imagined!! 🥹three months of planning every character to the likeness of my ‘cast’, and building the world from scratch (plus last-minute coding of an entire website because I decided I NEEDED a photobooth and didn’t feel like letting that idea go)🤷🏽♀️
i’m just really grateful to my people for locking tf INNN in the most unserious of ways, pouring into me, and reminding me that free will is real and everybody i know is hot af!🕵🏽♀️🥀🩸🗝️
had the greatest birthday party of my life with my favorite, most unserious people, and incriminating confessionals to prove it! 🕵🏽♀️🔎🩸🕯️#murdermysteryparty
a short story about quiet beginnings, curious hesitation, and eventual becoming🥀

p.s. i’ve been birthdaying all month and plan to continue even harder 🙂
