Love, but make it friendship. 💌✨

This Galentine’s styled shoot was all about celebrating the kind of love that shows up, stays late, laughs loud, and hypes you up without being asked. The kind of love that feels effortless, but is anything but ordinary.

Think soft glam, clinking glasses, pretty details, and conversations that linger a little longer. An intimate moment designed to feel luxe, playful, and full of heart — because friendship deserves the same intention we give everything else.

Here’s to the girls who pray for you, build with you, grow with you, and remind you who you are.

A love letter to friendship.

Some projects don’t feel like client work—they feel like creative alignment.

This was one of them.

is a husband-and-wife duo capturing honest, artful, people-first visuals that feel as real as they are cinematic. From the very first conversation, it was clear: their brand wasn’t about creating something new—it was about uncovering what already existed beneath the surface. The art. The intimacy. The intention.

Together, we crafted a brand identity that reflects the rhythm and artistry at the heart of Sean and Carissa’s work. Every design choice was rooted in their perspective—how they see people, moments, and meaning—and shaped to echo the way they approach visual storytelling. The result is a brand that doesn’t just represent their business, but elevates their vision: the art of people.

If there is one thing you should know about me, it’s that I don’t do anything “ordinary”, so when it came to my business cards, that was no exception. This was yet another project that I took my time with (flashback to my website 😅 iykyk), but none of that really matters because this too, was worth the wait.

Everything from the thickness of the card stock, to the blind embossed finish was just absolute perfection. And the texture? Ah, don’t get me started on that. Branded print collateral and stationary have truly become my latest obsession as a designer. Nothing beats the feeling of seeing your digital designs fully come to life in physical form.

December is officially here, and this moodboard is truly a love letter to the season.

This year, burgundy emerged as the statement color of the holidays—sophisticated and bold yet endlessly versatile, and I’m absolutely loving it! It brings such a richness and depth, while complementing neutrals like creamy beige, soft grays, and classic black, offering a fresh take on holiday decor.

Now I’m a neutrals girlie through and through (with a little edge of course), but I wanted to spice it up this year. Oddly enough I had gotten an ornament as a sweet gift last year and it had burgundy in it. What did I do? Instantly fell in love! Little did I know, it’d be serving as inspiration for my holiday decor for this year.

Although the new year will be here before we know it, I’ve been enjoying this time. December is inviting us to embrace moments of beauty and intentionality—whether it’s in the way we design, decorate, or simply experience this time of year.

this was a fun project to work on, and what made it even better was that this mini brand design was for my big brother! is a brand strategist, photographer and content creator who often channels his passion for visual storytelling, consumer behavior, as well as culture, into everything he does. for his brand identity, we went with something simple in design, but yet still bold and creative in nature. it needed to be able to stand out on it’s own, while also aligning with the style of work that he often creates.
