Setting Up A Studio That inspires Creativity
Slowly drifting into the new year, my studio set up shifted as furniture fell into new spaces. I spent time culling through the old and situating collected pieces intentionally — that included the artwork I displayed, the furniture I held onto, and the books that have enlightened me. I created a space that I am excited to belong and continue to work through the stories of my materials. How do you find that warmth in your own studio?
Studio Reflection 07/19
For a few years I’ve frequently found myself in a new place. Moving isn’t a foreign concept to me, but every time I embark on a new journey it’s full of reflections and learnings. This week, I embarked on another move to my fourth state, Maryland.

Elizabeth Suzann x Lauren Sauder
I’m so excited to finally share that while I spend my days working through my 100 day project, I am letting my imagination run wild on a collaboration with Elizabeth Suzann! Since moving to Nashville two years ago, Elizabeth Suzann quickly caught my attention as a brand/fashion label working to bring quality over excess to their consumer. Always made with 100% natural materials, their clothing celebrates sustainability + simplicity, made for women who want their clothing pieces to live with them.

I am almost halfway through my 100 day project (day 44/100!) and up to this point I have truly experienced some greatness.
The 100 Day Project - Part 1
I recently read something in a book that stuck with me…
“— to keep your hand in your craft, to stay close to it.”
Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear, Elizabeth Gilbert.
This resonated with me. I knew exactly why I started the 100 day project, but this summed it up in a perfect sentence.
Dealing with Burnout: How to Enter a Season of Rest
If I am being completely honest, burnout is a real thing in my life (like many others). Between pouring energy into my business, finding time for creativity, and showing up in my personal life, I sometimes feel zero energy, fearing burnout and the lack of motivation. I face guilt for not feeding my creativity, guilt for not sharing on social media, and guilt for not working during my downtime.
