Founder Musings: The Art of Presence -- November 2025

As the year winds toward its close, I’ve been thinking a lot about attention. How much of life passes quietly in the background when everything feels urgent, and how different things feel when you choose to really notice what is right in front of you.

Earlier this week I had a moment that pulled me back into myself. It wasn’t dramatic. It was the kind of shift that happens in the middle of something ordinary — a soft awareness that you’re here, that you’re alive, that something is taking shape beneath the surface. It made me realize how much I’ve been moving without looking, and how much meaning I find when I slow down enough to feel my own life again.

This year has stretched me in ways I didn’t expect. There were chapters that felt expansive and affirming, and others that asked me to grow sharper edges and deeper roots. Through all of it, I kept finding small flashes of clarity — moments that felt like guidance, or learning, or a quiet truth rising to the top.

I don’t know much, but I do know I’m trying to carry those moments forward. To hold onto the pieces that changed me. To let the lessons settle somewhere deeper, somewhere I won’t lose them when the year shifts into something new.

Maybe you’re feeling that too — the desire to gather whatever wisdom this year offered, to let gratitude soften the edges of difficult days, to honor how far you’ve come without rushing into what’s next.

If so, I hope this season gives you space for that. Space to reflect. Space to notice what is quietly asking for your attention. Space to choose presence over urgency, even in small ways.

Thank you for walking this year with me, and for supporting a small creative studio that is still finding its shape in the world. It means more than I can ever fully express.

And because I can't help myself, a little behind the scenes content from this week's photoshoot.
