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

In this talk, An Artist’s Journey, 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! Check out @pacificartleague for more info!
