// BACK IN THE STUDIO

//

Back in the studio after an amazing summer. It really feels like one chapter closing and another just beginning. September has this fresh, new energy—time to let go of the old, welcome what’s next, and appreciate the life I’ve worked so hard to build. Coming back to LA with that feeling has been the best, and my only goal right now is to simply enjoy it… and get back to work. SO much to do :) And very exciting things coming.

// BARCELONA TO IBIZA

//

It’s not always about working harder, stacking to-do lists, manifesting the next thing, or planning years ahead. Sometimes it’s just about being here — with the people you love, swimming in the ocean, looking around and realizing this is it. This is the life I built, the one I poured so much into. And the real flex is being able to pause, sit in it, and know that’s enough. That’s what this summer has been.

// SLOWING DOWN TIME

//

When I travel, I slow down time.
Everything becomes inspiration — the ritual of putting on @mareinewyork earrings before dinner & the @isagrutmanjewelry & @kajaerikajorgensen pieces I never take off, the way 4PM light folds into the ocean like it’s part of the design. A half-read newspaper left behind with the echo of espresso — unfinished, but complete in its own way.
I build stories in my head like moodboards. Imagined lives, moments. It’s one of my favorite ways to study the world — by not rushing through it.

// MALIBU BOTANICA

//

I found these beautiful vintage bamboo chairs at a flea market in LA. Loved the shape, hated the cushion. Sat with this print for a few weeks — lived with it, moved it around, let it speak. I decided on the Malibu Cream for the chairs. I can’t wait to get these upholstered.

This is the first drop from Malibu Botanica — a fabric collection inspired by the ease of Malibu. California cool, but elevated. Botanical, but not expected, a mood that doesn’t try too hard. Very excited to have this live. Shop the collection here.

Each piece was designed to live alongside our velvet and beaded pillows — layering has been a big part of what I’m learning through my latest residential projects. Playing with color, texture, scale… it’s changing how I see everything.

// VENICE, 2025

//

I took this photo a couple months ago at sunset. I remember collapsing into bed after a long day—on the verge of tears from being completely overworked. As the tears fell, I started laughing. Smiling. It was this moment where everything I had always dreamed of collided with the reality of what it actually feels like to get there—and then stay there. And when I say “get there,” I mean feeling at peace with myself. Proud of the decisions I’ve made—like moving to LA, doing the work I’m lucky to do, being surrounded by people who genuinely care. It’s all connected.

It reminded me: you can be exhausted and happy. Tired and fulfilled. The two can coexist. And sometimes, that’s the most honest kind of joy.

// FROM SAMPLES TO INSTALL

//

My suppliers and I have been working together since the beginning. Nearly 8 years of what now is family. I’ve learned so much from them, and we continue to work together with the insane deadlines, fast turnarounds and sometimes the deadlines that are so quick you need to drive to Montreal yourself to pick up the wallpaper production because UPS next day express won’t be fast enough. My newest bespoke work is installed in Toronto. This print is very very very different that anything I’ve done before. You know what - I catch myself saying that more often lately and that’s the goal: to keep pushing, keep evolving, and keep creating work that surprises me.

// LUCIA

//

Our latest mural for Lucia in Los Angeles has been installed, printed on our luxe matte gold reflective wallpaper. The design draws inspiration from Chef Adrian Forte’s modern interpretation of Caribbean cuisine. I love the high detail of this mural, and the way it curves up the wall and on-to the ceiling.

Some photos of life lately. I’ve moved from the computer to hand painting, and then back again, it’s been non-stop. But, I am loving it all. I’m watching things come together, and I’m handling the challenges with more strength than I did last year. I can feel the growth — and more importantly, I can see it. In my work, in my self-worth. I’m learning how to move through the tough moments, forgive the versions of myself I’ve outgrown, and keep going. A lot has shifted for me personally, and now that I’m on the other side of it, I honestly don’t know how I was living the way I was just a year ago. Maybe it’s age. Either way, I haven’t felt this strong, this honest, or this clear about what I’m building in a long time. Saying hi :) x
