Studio and Strategy

There’s a quiet kind of joy that comes from finishing something you started—especially when it involves torn paper, sticky fingers, and a $7.99 lamp from Goodwill. Two neglected lamps, a little decoupage paper, and one glowing reminder that making something—anything—feeds your creative soul.

There’s a small lamp in my office that never turns off. It’s been glowing through moves, late nights, and seasons of creative chaos — a quiet way of saying you’re home. When its shade was destroyed in the move, I realized the fix might be less about repair and more about joy: choosing a decoupage paper not to match the room, but simply because it makes me smile.
