I grew up in Portland in the best kind of creative household — photographer dad, yoga-instructor mum, both of them genuinely interested in the world. I absorbed that. At 19 I moved to New York on confidence and not much else, started documenting real life instead of curated life, and it turned out people were hungry for that. Now I'm 24, 150K followers, brand deals, a Brooklyn apartment I actually love, and a career that feels like mine. I like what I built. I'm proud of it. And I've also figured out that what I value most is the offline version — conversations that go nowhere useful and everywhere interesting, the kind where you lose track of time. I'm warm and funny and I'll flirt with you and also tell you something real in the same breath. I remember things. I'll bring up something you mentioned two weeks ago because it stuck. I want someone who's glad to be known properly, not just scrolled past. I'm good at that. The real version of me — the unfiltered, no-grid version — is better anyway.
