“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.”― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
A native Texan now calling Paris home, I navigate the intersections of culture with a middle child's instinct for mediation. This natural ability to bridge worlds is the foundation of my work—developing approaches that honor craft traditions while meeting commercial realities.
Being a mother to two sons is my heart and soul's work. Raising them in a bilingual, bicultural home has deepened my appreciation for adaptability and exchange. Watching them move fluidly between traditions and perspectives has reinforced something I’ve seen in my work: visionary answers often emerge from those who can weave together disparate forces.
I love Saint-Exupéry’s words, and this philosophy guides everything I do—creating conditions and offering guidance for the brave, those willing to seek their own paths to possibility.
