I realized something recently: many of you know Branch, but you might not really know me. With our rebrand rolling out, it felt like the right moment to properly introduce myself.

As I started envisioning what I wanted 2023 to look + feel like, the phrase CLEAN SLATE kept rising to the surface. My 2022 didn’t go as planned as many of the big things I set out to complete fell through the cracks. Launches of new offerings I’d been mapping out didn’t happen as my…

Happy 2022! How are things going for you so far? As the first week of this new year comes to a close, I’ve been re-focusing on some habits I let slide big time as last year got increasingly busy while reminding myself that even the smallest actions done consistently can yield big results.

For better or worse, everyone is going to have an opinion about your work. I learned this early on in two back-to-back critiques during portfolio reviews in college.

Even though I’ve been out of college for over a decade at this point, I still associate this time of year with getting back into the swing of routines after taking it a bit easier over the summer. For better or worse, 2020 hasn’t followed…

Two years of dreaming and planning. One big move to Palm Springs. Three months of building. A million (rough estimate!) trips to Home Depot. 120 square feet of pure magic.
