Happy Lunar New Year 🐎 Today marks the start of the Year of the Fire Horse - and it's a rare one. The Fire Horse only comes around every 60 years, and it's said to be a year of bold moves, forward momentum, and making things happen. After the heaviness of 2025, I'm ready for that energy.
Setting my intentions and going for it. Wishing you all the same!

I've been feeling more inspired lately. A mix of watching my students' color studies come to life, Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance reminding me that joy and community are resistance, and these warm colors pulling me back from the heaviness. Red for love, terracotta for grounding, chocolate for comfort. When everything feels dark - especially with so much hate coming from the top - color work reminds me to hold onto what's warm and human.

The more my mood shifts, the more eclectic my palettes get. These fall/winter colors feel right for the ups and downs—rich & layered, a little all over the place.
