I’m a born and raised Texan living in the diverse city of Seattle. I spend my time working as a creative manager in the advertising/marketing industry, and writing about my love of cocktails, food, hosting parties, travel, and everyday moments with my friends and husband.

Lately I’ve been focused on creating batch cocktail recipes, and collaborating with my best-friend-and-husband to photograph each one for my upcoming book.

Those who know me well, would agree that I passionately live by the words of Virginia Woolf,

One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.

It is my everyday goal to dine well—over a meal made by my hands, or at one of my local favorite spots—because I believe the power of sharing a meal can move mountains. It can inspire, comfort, and connect people.

I hope my blog will inspire you to be creative in your own way, explore the world around you, and find comfort in everyday moments.
