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.
Conception of a Business
Dear acquaintances, colleagues, family and friends,
I wanted to share amazing news!
In approximately 3 weeks, my very first fashion resort collection will go LIVE worldwide.
The Aegean Collection by Dahlo Studios is the result of an amazing collaboration I did as a textile designer with the SHEIN Fashion Company.
This is my very first step into the world of fashion, and many feelings come to life: I am anxious, excited, scared, encouraged, you name it!…these feelings are the result of making one of the dreams I had as a teenager come true!
A few decades later, here I am!
As the official date becomes available, I’ll share with you all the information you need to buy and help me promote my collection.
***SAVE THE FIRST WEEK OF JANUARY for
more news***
This first week my collection becomes available online will be crucial, as there will be only 100 garments produced of each style. If these sales go well on week one, a larger bulk production will be produced, and the success of my first mini capsule collection will be inminent.
Join me in making this happen?!!!
If you (or anyone you know) are looking to purchase beautiful clothes for that well-deserved vacation in the beach or simply want to look stunning at a pool party, check out my Aegean Collection for SHEIN coming-up on January 2024.
Is this an amazing NEW YEAR news?! It is to me!!!
So keep an eye on my posts and be ready to buy or gift beautiful clothes which support the endeavours of a recently FUNEMPLOYED acquaintance, colleage, family and friend who is working on making her dreams and goals become a reality.
More news to come!
Excited? I am!
