Almost there... 🙏🏼 and now going off the grid momentarily. ✌🏼 PC @wheatatreat

It’s easy to get swept up in distractions and chaos. Maintaining a certain level of peace and focus as I move through my days between cities has become ever important. Realizing more and more that I personally crave alone time to exist within my own thoughts undistracted by the thoughts of, "what I should be doing." Recharging and resting everyday, saying no to meeting people, saying yes to my sketchbook- this is OK. There’s no rush to keep up.

When I was 8 years old I developed an obsession with Paris. I thought it was the most glamorous place to live and I knew I would learn french. Since I was 8 years old I’ve been drawing dresses. I knew I would study in France, but I never knew I would get to do both things I loved in Paris. Everyday I wake up, I hope to go back soon. When you know your heart wants something, you can’t help it. You have to trust that it’s right and that with hard work & patience your goals will manifest how they need to.

Saturday morning feels after a good night w Darby and Tom. Lol

Styling your model friends at a sample sale bc u definitely aren’t sample size #lol

Productive morning with inspiring ladies and gents.
In this time of transition- I’m commuting between CT where I’m staying with my second family (@zemo30) and couch/bed surfing in between houses with my New York family. I think everybody thinks that your life is going to be a straight line, and until you experience the opposite you may not understand that it’s a series of loops and turns and unexpected happenings. The only three things that keep me joyful and passionate through all of it is my faith, my relationships near and far, and my design work. If I put effort into all of those things, I’ve found true peace and fulfillment. But it takes an absurd amount of patience, dedication, and flexibility to navigate this part of your career. I am ~comfortably struggling~ and beyond blessed to have friends and family lift me up and enable me to pursue the things I want most in life. For those of you who do read and digest what I write, I am dedicated to being open and sharing the journey. It’s a giant, exciting mess that many people may never get to experience.
Cheers mates
