In this video I’m doing a very real, very overdue 8‑month life update—aka the stuff I’ve been quietly living through while still trying to keep up with NYC artist life, studio days, and the small biz rhythm. The biggest headline: I was hired by Google as an artist (!), and I talk about what that actually means for my creative work, my schedule, and how I’m thinking about “career” lately. It’s not a dramatic overnight switch—more like me figuring out how to hold multiple lanes at once without burning out. I also share the behind-the-scenes of what’s been shifting in my day-to-day: how I’m organizing studio logistics, what’s felt exciting vs. what’s felt heavy, and the little personal-life moments that have been grounding me (yes, couple moments included). If you’re an artist trying to balance client work, brand opportunities, and your own practice, I hope this feels like a comforting check-in—less “perfect timeline” and more “here’s what’s actually working right now.” Also, this video is sponsored, and I share a piece I’ve been reaching for lately from SKIMS.
