One thing I wish we talked about more: you’re allowed to change direction.

At 20, I thought by this point in life I’d have everything figured out. Very funny. Turns out some of the best decisions I’ve made came after plans changed, things got uncomfortable, and I had absolutely no idea what was next. There’s something really freeing about getting older and caring a little less about what your life is supposed to look like.

So if you’ve been quietly thinking about doing the thing, changing the thing, starting the thing... maybe this is your nudge. You don’t need to have it all figured out first. 

I certainly didn’t. Thanks for following along on our journey as I figure out this little thing called life. The support, honest conversations, and encouragement from this community mean more to me than you probably realize.
This was such a strange full-circle moment. I could immediately remember being 30 years old, standing in those rooms with Derrick and trying to figure out what the heck we were doing!! We had ideas. We weren’t afraid of a project. I had loved design long before it became my career. But I didn’t have a process yet.

Now, after 15 years of designing homes for other people, I can see exactly what I was missing: a way to make the decisions as a whole instead of one at a time (and on my own).

That’s probably why The Design Suite feels so personal to me. It’s built for someone who reminds me a lot of myself back then—the homeowner who appreciates beautiful spaces, is happy to execute, but wants an experienced design team to establish the vision and work through the decisions before the orders are placed and the contractor needs answers.

And you don’t have to do it all tomorrow. Having the plan means you can implement it at the pace that makes sense for you. I would’ve loved to have that roadmap in this little Portland house.

If you’re standing in your own version of it right now, wondering where to begin, I’d love to hear about it.
🤎 Send me a message or head to the link in our bio to inquire about The Design Suite.
September always does something to my design brain.
These are 5 things I can’t stop pinning right now as we head into fall. Some were already working into our own home and some are showing up in client projects.

I’m going much deeper on all five in today’s Design Board Pinnings—how I’d actually use them, the ideas I’m saving, pieces I’ve sourced + a few things we’re doing at Sixth Street.

It lands in inboxes later today. Comment ‘LIST’ (or link in bio) and I’ll send you the link to subscribe so you don’t miss it.
