Don't Conform, Create

Updated: Apr 18, 2021

Elevate your life from "drab" to "fab" using innovation, creativity & a dab of personal style.



Studying art & design at Parsons in NYC fueled my life in so many ways. The art of "bullshitting" became key, for both being in design school & living in New York. Now, I'm not saying to be a con-artist, but there are [most] times in life when you have to use what you have to get where you want to be. Whether it's food to eat or pursuing a career path, you've got to improvise.

Instead of bitching about what you don't have, open your mind to think outside of the box. Remember, there is always something there to be used - it's called being innovative.

Put your spin on it, flip it, twist it, bop it and TA-DA!

The result is something that you were able to manipulate & tailor from start to finish. It is Perfectly-Imperfect - it is you. I find such practices instill a keen sense of self-worth, accountability &, of course, freedom.


Whether this is about creating jewelry or polishing your gems in life (body, mind, spirit), start right where you are & use what you have. Resources are never low if you use your mind 1st and bullshit the rest.


NEVER WAIT for opportunity to find you (because I promise you it won't). Use what you have to make your own platform - DON'T CONFORM, CREATE

Cheers to that! I use to toss everything out if I wasn't using it much or if I couldn't figure out how to make it work. Then Insaw how you decorated your BK apartment and it made me stop tossing out perfectly good clothing, furniture accessories...everything, and revamp it!
