Ever feel like going against what makes sense? To not follow the norms, and let the “what ifs” drift away in the wind. A year ago, everything was steady, just as it should be. Then, a new path appeared—maybe not the most ideal at first glance, but one that carried a quiet brightness, hinting at something greater ahead.
Here’s to moving forward, to evolving even when it feels uncertain, even when it’s not “the right” choice in the moment. Four cities in, I reflect on this path often—not because it’s perfect or permanent, but because it’s the one I’m on now.
From Santa Monica’s sun, to Seattle’s skies, to the pulse of Hong Kong and now Busan—each city leaves its mark, reminding me that the journey is just as important as the destination.

Back in Feb 2020, my friend and inspiring artist reached out with a last-minute idea ~ custom sneakers for her performance, and just 24HRS to bring it to life.

We stayed up late, snacking, sketching, letting the ideas unfold naturally. No pressure, just flow. And somehow, I that short window, something special came through.

Funny how the most spontaneous moments can lead to the most effortless creations. Grateful for the trust and the creative spark that night. 👟 ✨ 🌺

A year older, still figuring things out—but this past year has taught me so much about myself and this path I’m on.

These photos mean the world to me — taken in my studio, by my friend and photographer — right before everything changed. A moment frozen in time, a reminder of where I started. Grateful for it all. ✨

2024 truly changed me in ways I’m still trying to process. It ended in a whirlwind that shifted my perspective…
It’s been 3 months since I’ve joined Cirque on tour, and while it’s been an exciting adventure, it’s also been hard being away from the life that’s grounded me for so long. I’m learning a lot about myself and can’t wait to share more of my journey soon, but for now, I’m still giving myself the time and space to reconnect with my creative voice.

I hope you’ll keep following along as I navigate this new chapter.
❤️
Wishing you all a happy & grounded New Year - may your soles always guide you where you need to go!
