I’ve been sharing my world in various corners of the internet since 2013 (and no, I’m not counting MySpace). What started as a creative outlet after finishing grad school and landing in San Francisco has evolved alongside me over the years; and while it’s still very much a hobby, it’s become a space to share what I’m exploring & learning with others.
When I’m home in San Francisco, you can usually find me staying active by running and hiking, or unwinding by cooking, reading (you can check out a few of my favorite reads here), trying out new creative hobbies, or exploring local events happening around town.
Career & Tech HR
By day, I’ve spent over a decade building a career in HR in tech at Google. From time to time, I use this space to opine on the career side of things – sharing perspective on HR, recruiting, AI, the future of work, and navigating tech as a woman.
Style & Looks for Less
Style should be an expression of yourself – something fun, creative; and it shouldn’t feel unattainable. I grew up in a very frugal household, and that instilled a real appreciation for value in me early on – which is why I still love finding “looks for less” today. A big part of this space is sharing those designer dupes and affordable finds, simply because the hunt is fun for me, and I love making those styles accessible to everyone. (And: most of the time with designer brands, you aren’t actually paying for better quality – you’re just paying for the brand name, with a few rare exceptions!)
Travel
When I’m not in the city, I’m usually traveling. I use this space to share my trips, curating guides on where to stay, what to eat, and the details that help you decide if a trip is truly worth it for you.
At its core, this blog is simply a space where I share what I’m exploring and learning, with the hope that it might be useful for someone else. Thanks for being here!
