My sensitivity is set to high so my life is a wild, yet balanced blend of experiences: chronic pain, authentic connections, food intolerance, high empathy, profound grief, unity with nature, and a deep well of creative energy. They all converge in my ability to cultivate harmonious exploration that leads to vivid ideas unique to your brand.
... but at first, I couldn’t see past traditional models of that life to find my own. My path began to emerge when I realized that caring for myself was the most important part of caring for anyone else. So instead of remaining miserable at my patient care job, I left to pursue photography full time in 2023.

You and I, and everything alive, are made up of messy contradictions. We’re ever-changing beings often encouraged, or even forced, to identify with concrete definitions that fall terribly short of our true essences. Happy and sad are said to be opposites, but can’t you remember feeling both at the same time about the same thing? The contradictions within me long to be honored, not glossed over and shoved into the nearest box. I think yours do, too.
Mellow Nectar Co is a celebration of all the things we can be, feel, and want, no matter how inconsistent they seem. All of them are valid and contribute to your most magnetizing form. Mellow Nectar is bold and calm, energetic and serene, laid back and lush, colorful and grounded. It’s a framework for letting your brand grow wild.
