The Brave Pivot
Welcome to The Inward & Outward Journal — part blog, part living testament to Courageous Shift that changed everything.
Welcome to my Inward & Outward Journal — part blog, part living testament to The Brave Pivot that changed everything.
This is where structure gave way to soul. Where I traded deadlines and boardrooms — not for escape, but for the freedom to create on my own terms. With nothing but a vision, my art, ideas, and a few brave prototypes, I stepped away from building for others and began building for myself.
After years in the corporate world and the consulting trenches, I leapt — heart first — into the wild, exhilarating unknown of creative entrepreneurship.
Now, I’m building DAHLO — a lifestyle brand that’s more than just products. It’s a celebration of intentional living, bold self-expression, and artistry with meaning.
This journal is my raw, honest account of reinvention — the inner shifts, the outer risks, and the beautifully imperfect path toward living authentically. It’s about shedding the “shoulds,” trusting the process, and showing up fully — for my work, my spirit, and myself.
Here, I share the real stuff: the missteps, the magic, the doubt, the breakthroughs — and the quiet, powerful decision to choose alignment over approval.
I began imperfectly in November 2023, guided by an abstract idea — more a feeling than a plan — of what I truly wanted. After countless trials, tribulations, and moments of introspection, self-challenge, and doubt, I faced the music and took a brave pivot: a Design Thinking process applied to my own life.
To the beat of my own drum, I’m composing a new rhythm — one fueled by a deep love for Design, Creative Direction and Leadership. I’m not just building a business; I’m crafting a platform — a lifestyle brand that will one day create meaningful opportunities for other creatives to thrive and shine.
It has taken time to find clarity and build confidence, but here I am — diving headfirst into the unknown, ready to create, evolve, and uplift.
If you’ve ever felt the pull to build something meaningful from the inside out — Inward & Outward — to live with purpose, lead with heart, and finally show up as your truest self, then welcome.
You’re not just invited to follow my journey.
You’re already part of my story.
