🍂 Fall Update

If there’s a theme to this season, it’s finishing things, and beginning again.

2025 is the year I chose the word Curiosity as my north, and it has been one of my most creative years to date.

Lu ‘s story wrapped in early October: nine chapters that let me experiment with layered storytelling, songs, and illustrations. Thank you to everyone who read along and made space for something new.

This past summer I also spent time with my 1998 diary, sharing pieces of it in my series called From the Beginning. There are many more diaries waiting in the wings, but this one felt like the right place to start. Reading through those pages turned into more than a writing project; somehow, it became a music album, too.

A couple of weeks ago, I released I Am The Season, a song about being 45, tending ground that doesn’t promise me anything, and learning that I am the season, rather than waiting for spring.

---

At The Copper Portico, there’s a lot happening behind the scenes: brand projects, design work, new collaborations. I’ll share more about those soon.

---

I spent August in the Brazilian winter, enjoying incredible meals, walks in nature, camellias in every stage. That time away from making helped me remember why I make things at all.

---

And as we move into fall, I’m making room for new design and strategy clients. If you know someone looking for thoughtful creative partnership, I’m open to conversations.

If you’re also in a season of making (whatever that looks like for you), I’d love to hear about it. Thank you for being here.
