NEW: 5/2 Printing Class + Anthropologie Series Announcement
So stoked to announce that I’ll be the resident artist for 4 classes this year at Anthropologie’s SoHo store! Each class in this series will have its own seasonal flair.
My next class will be Friday, May 2nd and I will post sign-up details in a couple weeks on April 14th on my Instagram. Stay tuned!

recent design work
Invites & event stationery for Tory Burch
I designed a digital invite for Tory Burch last month and am currently working on name cards, menus, and table numbers for their NYC event in May. Love the mix of both digital and hand-drawn elements.
Springtime wedding in New York
This suite included a letter-pressed main invite with a gold foil border, a schedule card, and die-cut RSVP cards in the shape of a NYC skyscraper. I wrapped them in a floral ribbon that gave the suite a fresh, spring-y touch.
Illustrations for a coastal wedding in the Hamptons
Will share more on this soon, but I love this tent I drew for their Rehearsal dinner invite— my favorite detail for sure.
I also created this logo for them to use across peripheral items such as cocktail napkins, matchbooks, and more.
what i’m loving lately
products
disclaimer(s) — I don’t want to support the overconsumption of goods, but I’m always on the hunt for new items in the home/cooking/design world that make ordinary tasks more enjoyable. I don’t want to piggyback trends but rather list items I genuinely love and enjoy :)
Maison Flaneur Sconces — I noticed these in the sale section of Maison Flaneur recently and am in love.
Chrome Gohar Bean Candle Holder — Chrome has definitely caught my attention lately and I am eyeing this bean-shaped candle holder. I think it would be a great statement table piece.
Gohar Garlic Sink Scrubby - While perusing Gohar World's website (a weekly occurrence for me) I noticed this garlic-shaped dish scrubber and my attention was piqued. Even more so by this boob one?!
Resin Salad Servers — I love everything the Aperitivo Shop does and I think I’m going to snag these salad servers soon. Green is a neutral, okay!
Furbish Table Linens — As an NC native, I’ve been a big fan of Furbish Studio for a while. They sent me some table linens recently and the quality is incredible. I have big plans for these!
Pizza Camp: Recipes from Pizzeria Beddia — I lived in Philly for a few years after college and was a denizen of Fishtown’s Pizzeria Beddia. Once I saw he just came out with a cookbook, I knew I had to get it.
Graf Lantz Coasters — I firmly believe that coasters should be made of absorbent material, NOT ceramic or metal. I mean that’s the whole point, right? I’m a huge fan of Lantz’s wool coasters and love the shape of these.
Epicurean Cutting Boards — These cutting boards are a perfect non-toxic alternative to wooden or plastic ones that harbor bacteria or harmful micro-plastics. Yeahhhhhhh…. I’m starting to go full woo woo.
Loftie Alarm Clock — These alarm clocks have been around for a bit, but I am continually finding a new appreciation for mine that I’ve had for years now. I used mine as a sound machine last night and cannot recommend enough.
Aperitivo Spaghetti Dust — Spice blend of calabrian chili, garlic, parsley and sea salt. I love to see fun packaging like this.
Julie Peach Sardine Napkins — I noticed these on Anthro’s site and love how they are all individually block printed! Love Julie Peach’s work these would be great for summer.
podcast episodes
please enjoy my favorite podcast episodes I’ve enjoyed lately… I’m extremely interested in female entrepreneurship, cooking, design, and health/longevity.
Radio Cherry Bombe: Molly Baz — Love how she’s navigated motherhood and entrepreneurship.
Radio Cherry Bombe: Bobbi Brown — Really loved this one. Loved her advice for female entrepreneurs about what to focus on and where to put your energy.
Mel Robbins episode on staying healthy as you get older — Not sure how I feel about Mel Robbins yet, but enjoyed this episode!
Las Culturistas x Lady Gaga: Please respect my privacy during this time. I cried listening to this.
Financial Feminist — Good episode that combines SNL stories + tips on becoming financially secure while in the creative industry.
I’d love to hear from you!
