Hey, it’s been awhile…

I blinked, continued building my business, survived brain surgery, and now here we are.

Welcome to the new version of this space — still me, but evolved. A lot has changed in the past few years: Studio H has grown, I’ve launched new projects, competed in pageants, expanded what I offer (and what I stand for), and most recently… had brain surgery that completely reset my perspective.

This month took me back to Chicago — not as a buyer, but supporting a bridal tech startup founded by my friend Becca. After years of working Market from both sides, I’m sharing what this trip actually reminded me about resilience, perspective, and showing up for someone else’s vision.
