I survived another year, I’ll count that as a win🌙
beware, sappiness incoming!
this year, business was slower than usual. BUT I was still lucky enough to work with so many new, memorable clients who trusted me. 2025 felt like it was targeted more towards experiences rather than “career success.”
because of this slow period, I got to see cherry blossom trees, tulip fields, sea turtles hatching — I found a four leaf clover! I got to pick apples for the first time, I visited Salem, MA, in October. I did Production Design for a UT short film (that made it into Austin Film Fest!) I laughed and celebrated with new and old friends. I decorated my rental house for each & every holiday. I sold handmade jewelry at an art market. I set up a little free library in my neighborhood. I started raising a chameleon named Nunchuck (+ jumping spiders & a praying mantis)!
I felt disappointed in myself before I started writing this, but now I think I need to rethink what “success” really means. thanks for being here :)
for 2026 I’m manifesting …🧿
