Local friends!

I’m excited to share that I’ll be speaking at the Pacific Art League Speaker Series this Friday, February 13, 2026, in Palo Alto.

Here’s their website.

Friday 02/13/26

6 PM-7 PM $20

In this talk, I’ll be sharing how handwriting, routine, and creative practice became my way of slowing down, tuning in, and documenting life with intention. I’ll talk about Shutterbean, The Handwriting Club, and my Currently workbooks, and how all of it grew from a simple desire to show up creatively on a regular basis.

If you’ve ever wondered how creativity and routine can live side by side, this talk is for you!

Also! Valentine’s Day is this Saturday. If you are looking for some menu ideas, I’ve got you covered.
