I see life as an evolving landscape, one that’s not meant to be mastered, but met with curiosity and presence.
Z’Est was never meant to be just a brand. It is a way of living that unfolded slowly for me, through seasons of life, which include motherhood, my career, my friendships, through creative exploration, and intentional presence in my everyday.
At my core, I am an artist. A quiet observer. Someone who’s always found deep meaning in the details that most people move past too quickly. The light and rustling of the leaves as the wind blows. The brushstroke that doesn’t follow the sketch. The way setting a table can change a whole room. The way a hug from a friend feels on a day I really need it.
Z’Est became my way of honoring those details, and inviting others to do the same.
Every season of life, every shift in rhythm, identity, and energy, has shown me something new about how to live with intention, creativity, and presence. And through Z’Est, I have created a space for others to explore, leverage what I have learned and create that for themselves, too.
Here is where:
We create. We gather. We rest.
We return to what matters.
We focus on the present and not perfection.
And we make room for the honest, beautiful process of unfolding into who we are meant to be.
Travel is one way I reconnect with me and with others. Travel isn’t about escape, it’s about experience. I find so much inspiration in new cultures, textures, palettes, and conversations. Each trip expands my perspectives and fuels my creativity.
Time with friends fills me up. A slow dinner. A real laugh. A moment shared. The most beautiful part of my life is my family and friends in it, and any time I get to gather with them is time I deeply treasure.
I share my time between the desert and the lake. I spend summers on the lake and winters in the light and warmth. Each place inspires a different rhythm, and I relish both to feel creatively grounded.
