A Few of My Favorite Everyday Things

My Raffia Bag

The bag that comes with me almost everywhere—from client installs to flea market finds. It’s lightweight, neutral, and has that perfect texture that feels elevated yet easy. It’s a small thing, but it reminds me to carry beauty with me, wherever I go.

Design Magazines

I’m always flipping through House & Garden, Magnolia, or Better Homes & Gardens. There’s something grounding about flipping through a printed magazine. I keep a rotating stack of my favorites in my bag and always find new ideas tucked in the pages. They spark inspiration, offer fresh perspective, and connect me to the larger design world.

Topo Chico

Call it my daily luxury —I always have a bottle of Topo Chico nearby. Something about the fizz and that iconic glass bottle just feels right. It’s my little refresh while I work or wind down.

These simple staples may not to be fancy, but they’re mine — and they each play a part in how I move through my days as a designer. What are your go-to favorites that makes your day feel more like you?
