HELLO! Lovely to see you here, fellow misfit. I’d like to take a moment to walk you through my journey from blogger to photographer to marketing consultant and now to a combination of all three. Some might call it a hat trick, I call it multi-passionate. I have been creating […]

What is This “Misfit Creatives” Thing?
If you read my post from last week, you know that I am starting to create a bunch of content under this “Misfit Creatives” term. Why? And what does it even mean?! A few of my friends had the same question, so sit tight. I’ll explain. The “why” tree has […]
If You’re Sick of Instagram, Read This
As we step into 2022 (which is absolutely BANANA LAND), I had to drop in and share my feelings on social media. I do this almost every year and one thing remains the same: it’s always changing. See what I did there?? Word play is fun. If you’re a small […]
Guest Spot: Finding Mr. Height Podcast – Breakup Questions
What a way to kick off the new year! Almost exactly one year after my big breakup, I recorded a guest spot on the Finding Mr. Height Podcast talking about relationships, my breakup, and all that fun stuff. BIG thank you to Ali and Roark, who put up with me […]

A ton of people have been reaching out to me on Instagram recently asking for these suggestions! Certainly appropriate for the holidays since they are big on tourism (let’s not forget the giant tree in the middle of Rock Center), and they’re both “centers”, which is fun. Not going to […]
That Time I Interned for Howard Stern
The moment you’ve all been waiting for. The Howard Stern Intern story. I brought this up on my post a few weeks ago about working for Pfizer, and the demand was high. Please note this was 14 years ago and the photos were taken on a Sony CyberShot. Enjoy. “Just […]
Pantry Pasta – Spaghetti w/Garlic, Olive Oil & Tomato Paste
I make this pasta all the time. To the point where people ask if I make anything else to share on my Instagram stories. In my defense, it’s just so damn easy. It’s essentially the Garlic/Olive Oil pasta from the movie Chef, which I’ve posted already a while ago, but […]
That Time I Worked for Pfizer (and Started This Blog)
Many people ask me how I started this blog and why, and I don’t think I’ve ever actually discussed it. If I did, I sure as shit don’t remember, so might as well talk about it now while it’s top of mind. Lest I forget again in a few minutes. […]
