Making things beautiful and making beautiful things In 2020, while the world was reeling, I was spending my isolation digging in the dirt, becoming obsessed with what I could grow at our mid century house that sits on a acre in north Grand Junction, CO. During that time two things changed the trajectory of my life: growing flowers and reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver. I knew I wasn't ever going to get over the magic of watching things grow. Then I left my big tech job in 2023, ready for something new. I didn't know yet what would be next for me, all I knew is that I needed to make beautiful things and make things beautiful and that whatever I did, there would be flowers. So here we are today. I've started a small-scale flower farm, I'm taking on a few design and styling projects, and I'm curating the perfect collection of beautiful houseplants, gifts and accessories that can be found at Copeka Coffee. I used to say I sent emails for a living, now I water plants. I hope you will join me in making things beautiful and reveling in the magic of watching things grow. There's nothing quite like it!
