FULL HEART ❤
In 2017, my 2nd year of , I was juggling 3 related but different services: Event Design, Graphic Design + Prop Styling. Truth was, at 30 years old, I was still trying to decide WTF I wanted to do professionally.
That was also the year that the editors of “found” me. After chatting over coffee, I was asked whether I’d be interested in producing & styling a holiday-centric shoot. I tried to be chill about it, but internally I was freaking out. All I had ever wanted to do since I was 13 was to work on shoots for magazines. I couldn’t believe that an editor had asked me to do JUST THAT.
The shoot I put together that year was called “Friendsgiving Feast”. I ran around Baltimore, introducing myself to local shops, restaurants + makers that I thought would be cool to collaborate with. I thrifted antiques & dishware. I brought everything together in a church & styled a Thanksgiving tablescape. It was the most elaborate project I’d ever done.
That night, Nate came home & innocently asked ‘how’d it go?’. I immediately burst into tears — the happy kind. “I don’t know how to explain it, but now I know: THIS is what I was always meant to do” I said with wet cheeks.
7 years later — I’m still in mild shock I get to make a living by collecting props, collaborating with creatives & telling stories through imagery — here in Baltimore none-the-less; A city where my grandparents + Dad immigrated to from Italy, which I abandoned for NYC, never thinking I’d ever return to, only to find my truest self here, years later.
Thank you , most especially . You’re the catalysts that made me realize that THIS is the career for me & that THIS is my city. Thank you so much for sharing my story - my family’s story - with Baltimore ❤

Just another tableware Tuesday!
And nope, that’s not a thing, but this spread of monochrome dishes, glassware, and silverware from our collection was just too good to pass up 🤩

A glimmer of of new beginnings ahead. That is all that I wish for us.
Saying goodbye to 2020 has been strange. While I feel 💯 ready to move into a new year, I’m also feeling slightly nostalgic... i ask myself over and over - WHY?! This was a year that shook us. There was so much ugly & scary. Why do I feel like I’m abandoning something?? And then it hits me:
I’m actually going to miss bits of 2020...
The surreal quiet of quarantine, everyone discovering sourdough, puzzles, Tiger King. Seeing masked Italian grandmas dancing on balconies to music. The bravery - so much bravery from friends, relatives & strangers worldwide. Having space to make new connections, engage in meaningful, sometimes uncomfortable conversations. Standing for and with Black Lives Matter. Seeing some of my best friends open their own brick and mortars, grow in their businesses and/or become parents for the 1st & 2nd time.
Don’t get me wrong - this year was mostly a steaming pile of 💩 . But it also brought us some damn decent, life changing experiences that I’ll never forget. Goodbye 2020. You were wild and damn it - I’ll kinda, just a little bit, miss you.
Hope you all have a wonderful NYE!!! Cheers friends! 🍾🎉✨

Pad Thai in bed = my way of canoodling.
Hehe, get it? 🤓
No but seriously - it’s frigid outside. Comparatively, this sounds like an amazing way to spend the day.... no?
