Creatively living
for a living 

I’m a multidisciplinary creative who lives by designing a life rooted in beauty, purpose, and intention. My work spans creative development, lifestyle design, storytelling, and social entrepreneurship using creativity as both a livelihood and a way of shaping meaningful experiences.

Motherhood is at the center of everything I build. I’m raising a creative teenager and a bilingual autistic son, and they inspire my commitment to thoughtful living, inclusive design, and emotionally grounded work.

I believe in creatively living for a living stewarding properties that I have inherited,   ideas, and projects that reflect growth, personal development, and a well designed life. Whether I’m developing brands, documenting life transitions, or building community centered initiatives, my work blends aesthetics with impact.

seeds &  deeds

I never imagined that inheriting two family properties would become the starting point of an entirely new chapter of my life — one that would teach me the real meaning of mastery and legacy.

When I purchased my great grandmother's home during the pandemic, I saw it as a spiritual inheritance, guided by a dream to find and acquire, the home of my paternal grandmother who was a pillar in the community. Four years later, my aunt passed and left me her condo, I wasn’t just given keys to homes.  I was anointed for the right of inheritance - the right of redemption, the responsibility of restoration, and the assignment of those who came before me. inheritance of legacy and beauty,

What began as a practical decision to preserve family property quickly became a spiritual assignment: to restore not just the structures, but the stories within them. To reimagine inheritance as a living, creative practice, one that could shape how my children see themselves, their roots, and their possibilities.

As a mother, I often think about what it means to pass something on. Not just assets, but wisdom. Not just a house, but a sense of home — identity, discipline, culture, and beauty. My children are my greatest why. Through them, I’ve learned that lifestyle mastery isn’t about having everything figured out; it’s about learning to live with intention, design, and purpose so they can see what legacy looks like in real time.

This space — my blog, my films, my archives — is where I document that journey. It’s part story, part study: how a woman rebuilds her life through inheritance, creativity, and lifestyle design, how we master our lifestyles to become the architects of our own legacies.

I am documenting rebuilding life through inheritance and intentional living.

Right of Inheritance is a series dedicated to documenting my inheritance and redemptive real estate practice of my great grandmother's house and land and my Aunt's condo. Inheriting their properties was life-changing, both professionally and personally.

In this episode, I am sourcing all of the material needed for the renovation after months of saving, planning, and gathering inspiration. I also completely gut the bathroom and get emotional.
