I picked up photography in high school and it’s been a hobby ever since. I love capturing candid expressions, genuine moments, and everyday details. My phone gets the most use these days, but the Yashica medium-format camera wins for neatest one I own.

I’m particularly fond of anything vintage or handmade, and could easily spend hours browsing through photo
and design archives. I once ran an Etsy shop where I sold stationery featuring vintage postage and book pages, among other things. In 2016, in an attempt to reconcile my love-hate relationship with the holidays, I began posting my vintage Christmas card collection on Instagram. I look forward to sharing the work of stationery designers and artists, along with various Christmas inspiration there each year.

Other things I enjoy: sunny days, outdoor dining, bright colors, thoughtful snail mail, a good shirtdress, borrowing cookbooks from the library, coastal California, black licorice, playlist-making, the photography of Vivian Maier, and the Wiser Than Me and Flightless Bird podcasts.
