My Story

I started my minimalist journey during my senior year of high school after feeling emotionally overwhelmed with all of the clutter in my life. I ended up getting rid of 70% of my belongings and continued to let go every day. After high school, I decided to take a non-traditional route with a gap year full of traveling the world. The following year I studied at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. This past year and the year to come I have been working to build up my business through a variety of client types. I strive to help people discover the "essentials" in their homes and spaces to create room for what truly adds value.
