Support My Move & Sewing Retreat!

Hi friends,

After 11+ years of building a life in NYC, I've made the move to Philly to start a new job that better aligns with my goals and values. It's a change rooted in care — for myself, my new community, and my future.

I’m truly grateful to have found a short-term space to live for the summer, but I’ll be moving again in September, navigating two big transitions in just a few months. Between that, final NYC bills, and a pay gap between roles, I’m definitely feeling the financial squeeze.

I've also been accepted into a sewing retreat in Maine this August — a space designed for slowness, intention, and creative renewal. It’s a deeply personal investment in my craft and mental well-being. It feels like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I want to show up for it fully.

To land a little gentler in this next chapter, I’m reaching out for support. I'm slowly unlearning the idea that I have to do everything on my own — and trusting that asking for help can be a form of strength, not surrender.
