My Work

Author, designer and creator of my first self-published work called Fruitful Reflections. With a love for journaling and skillset in design - I created this work in 2023 as a way to reflect with my community on the fruit that was produced in our lives in 2023 and begin planting seeds for the year ahead. I was encouraged by those who used the original version to publish this work so others could join us in this guided self reflection activity!
