Beauty. Joy. Purpose.

Beauty, joy, and purpose are my raison d'etre and the intention behind everything I do.

This is a repository of my thoughts, inspiration, work, play, challenges and victories on the journey.

Fair warning, it can get a little introspective. I see that as a good thing. Don't you?

Eclipses, full moons, monsoons, solar flairs, hurricanes and the storm and havoc of our current government. Yet and still we get to keep moving forward with on our path because NOTHING - least of which the patriarchy - gets to keep us from shining.
On that note, there certainly are some areas that lack clarity after the recent series of astrological upheaval but I'm proud to say my business ain't one of them!
I've expanded the idea of Conscious Design beyond physical spaces (my Interior Design business - which is still intact) to our inner worlds. My calling is to serve others in consciously designing their lives by supporting them in creating beauty and following their purpose.
I'll be sharing more projects as they launch (one of which is a docu-series and podcast featuring women who have found the courage to take the leap). In the meantime, check out the new vibes and let me know your thoughts! I can't wait to connect with you each. I'm here to support you on your journey, help you create beautiful, conscious spaces, and hold the space for you to share your story.
If any of that resonates with you feel free to reach out in the comments, private message, or through the new website! Here's to never giving up on ourselves. #beautyjoyeveryday

"A belief is only a thought I keep thinking." - Abraham
One sentence that has the power to change everything.
Pay close attention to the thoughts you've been thinking - especially the ones playing on repeat. Which ones are serving your life? Which ones are stealing your joy?
Reverse engineer the negative beliefs by writing down the list of thoughts that support those beliefs. Then, write specific positive thoughts to replace them.

Now the real work begins. When you notice yourself going there - insert the new thought.
Do it over and over again. Until the thoughts you keep thinking push you up and forward. #yougotthis #consciouslydesignlife #beautyjoyeveryday

Changing the way schools look and feel. #Teachers spaces should functionally and energetically support the hard work they do.

We were challenged with providing workspaces for 28 teachers in a fairly small space.
We decided on several rows of connected workstations with some help from @ikeausa accompanied by these fantastic turquoise task chairs for a pop of color.

Featured: 28 Black Tastemakers by Angela Belt

February 27, 2017 in My Business Journey

What a lovely surprise it was to be asked to participate in this year's 28 Black Tastemakers series by Angela Belt (Stylist, Designer and Market Editor extraordinaire). It's an honor to share the space with such a talented and innovative collective of designers and creatives - some I've followed for years, and others this project has introduced me to.

Head over to her site to check out the feature and to discover the black girl/boy magic highlighted over the 28 days of Black History Month.
