In 2015, I followed a string of sunshine and spun myself a cozy home in LA. I always planned on returning to my Oregon roots, but the opportunities in LA are so diverse and plentiful, I just had to stay.From interior design to popular home appliances, I’ve gone on a few adventures. My overall philosophy is simple: I believe we’re meant to explore. Even when sitting still, our minds go scrolling through Instagram, visit our favorite TV shows, remember old curiosities. Strong, creative writing diverts our attention from the beaten path to find something new.
