You’re a true creative — what inspires your eye, and how do you approach creating in a way that feels true to you?

— Much of my aesthetic and creative sense feels very intuitive; it’s hard to pinpoint exactly where it comes from. It’s certainly an amalgamation of my environment and upbringing. My grandma has always been an avid vintage shopper. Her home is styled to a T with vintage goods in every room, which has always been a huge inspiration.

These days, I pull from what feels like a million different sources of inspiration. I’m highly inspired by late 18th-century and early 19th-century apparel— specifically the handmade craft and long lasting nature of how things were made. Architecture and interiors, which I draw a lot of inspiration from via traveling, but when I'm not traveling, places like Pinterest, historical fiction series on Netflix, and art history books I collect from estate sales. I also have a deep admiration for textile craft in general — from Japanese indigo dyeing practices and sashiko mending, to Turkish rug weaving, to folk redwork embroidery. I also have a forever love for Taxco silversmiths — I would love to visit Taxco, Mexico, to see some of my favorite jewelry styles being made in person.

All that to say, I never try to “define” my style in any sort of way. I simply curate based on things that I love, that catch my eye, and that feel artful and hearty in a way. Many of those things often share similarities, which then make up my style. I think when you take this curatorial approach, over time you inevitably craft a style that feels like you.
