Welcome
Thank You for visiting my website! I am happy to have a place that gathers the many pieces that contribute to my work as a writer, producer, photographer, thought leader, and more...
This space also serves as my blog. A place where you'll find everything from recipes to my musings on motherhood, and updates about my projects. If you want full behind-the-scenes updates, you can become a member of my patreon community. Patreon has been a valuable space for me over the years, and I encourage you to click on the link and learn more about it!
With that, I'll leave you with a quick guide on some things I want to guide you to, but this website has all the links and serves as the best place to get to know and connect with me and my work if we haven't met, and maybe if we have!
Here's a quick guide:
I believe in archiving, so you will certainly see my writing, work and ideas over time.
So sit back and scroll through, I'm happy you're here and look forward to being in touch!
