Giggles, Grades, and Gators

For giggles this may be a recurring series. It’s been fun reflecting on my time at the University of Florida (UF) and if any of my little stories help someone at UF I’m happy. Without further ado let’s get to the giggles, the grades, and the gators… For Giggles I love a walk. Walking anywhere just clears the mind and helps reset whatever problems…

Hello Again, I’m Back!

It has been a hot minute since I’ve written. A lot has happened. And while I want to share everything all at once that’s probably not the best way to tell all the good and bad and okay-ish news. Instead I will share a quick life update summary (still a little crazy – details to come) and then a posting schedule with some fun…

Rebuilding south florida by learning

In an ideal world, like school, I’d have an answer for every question whirling about in my head right now. Instead, what feels like a million vague answers to these questions about how to rebuild after Hurricane Ian float about. My heart aches for my hometown of Fort Myers. This past week I have been debating about how to express my heartache, my desire…

Fools and Floors

I had a choice: click in place wood flooring or look like wood porcelain tile. Naturally I picked the tile. The hardest, longest flooring to put in and which I have the least experience in. Oh boy have I learned a lesson. Don’t get me wrong, I love the flooring! I am just not as in love with the process of getting it done…

Painted Up

With the majority of the demo done it was time for some pretty progress. I had spent weeks pouring over paint palettes considering how to style the condo. I love color! Bright, vibrant and lively colors. I really don’t shy from stronger colors. However I do want to be able to sell the condo without having to put too much work into it. I…

Demo Days

The first step in the condo project is to demo it. Basically tear it down to the bare essentials to truly have a base from which to build up my vision of it. I couldn’t have done this without the help of my family and boyfriend. The extra hands really helped in tearing things up and carrying them out. We started with the doors,…

Condo Conundrum

Every life has it’s milestones, one of which is making your first place your own. Whether it’s a room or a whole villa the project of making your first place your own is a challenge. At first it seems so straight forward but then one decision creates six questions and soon enough there’s more to the project than you’d ever envisioned. Having focused on…

2021 in review

Where have I been you ask? Here, there, and everywhere it seems! I know I dropped off the radar a bit in 2021. I needed to sort out life and it’s nearly sorted! But before I get ahead of myself let’s start where I last left off. Here’s 2021 in review: I had plenty of time to reflect on my choice to attend the…

A Redesign for the future

Welcome reader! If you’ve visited in the last few days or even in the last few years you’ve seen a number of changes. As I near graduation and step into the next part of my journey towards becoming a licensed professional designer I decided the take the blog along with me. For those new and old, I have changed up the categories to reflect…

The Hunt Begins!

Career Fair came and went this past Friday in a flash. Before I knew it I had a chronological portfolio in the works, a presentation worthy portfolio for screen sharing, and a long list of updates across platforms. This job hunt is I’m sure going to be as interesting as last years. Most things are still online including Career Fair. The school decided to…
