Live at the XK Intersection

Field Notes
Four ways I look at the world. Tap a circle.
EExperienceWhere you can find me
Yes, I'm a mermaid (see About). You'll always find me near water. Underwater is a whole other life, and it's my safe place.
CCreativityWhat inspires me
I'm always somewhere new, and my friends and family have stopped being surprised by where I turn up. You'll find me with a camera or on a walk, taking photos that challenge how I see the world and teach me to really look.
PPerspectiveWhat shifts my mindset
I've set a goal to meet at least one new person every week. Every person is a window onto how someone else sees the world, and you never know what you'll learn.
UUniverseCulture fun fact
In Paris I ate only steak tartare, escargot and frog legs for three days straight, every meal, to find the best one.

Next Stop: My Fine Art Foundation
It’s the origin point, where my work first began to take shape.


My work begins here. Fine art shaped how I think and create, teaching me to work from instinct, build through emotion, and tell stories visually. Even as my work expands into design and strategy, this foundation remains at the core, grounding everything I make in expression and connection.
