Meet Holly

With an editorial and styling background in the publishing world of luxury lifestyle brands, I have an appreciation for beauty, stories, and the creatives behind them. What began as a creative outlet has transformed into a vision for freelance—helping individuals and companies discover how to tell their unique story and embrace their God-given creativity.

  • Truly a lover of cancelled plans, I believe when you make your house your haven, what’s the point in leaving? From pajamas to comfort food, I’m all about embracing a cozy night in.

  • I unapologetically identify as a serial hobbyist who starts more new projects than she can realistically finish. Follow along and find inspo for your next project!

  • Hosting is an art form—from the table setting, menu, guest list, and more. There’s no better way for a homebody to socialize than to entertain at home!
