I’ve always believed in the power of art. It's something that can be pretty and powerful to look at... but it's also a tool. It's something that can help people feel seen, express what words cannot, or even understand themselves a little better. That belief is what guides everything I do, whether I’m creating a new piece, designing a journal, or consulting with other creatives on ways to make their work more inclusive, honest, or healing.

there's a different type of frustration that comes with staring at a blank canvas or page. it feels like your creativity just disappeared. but this frustration felt different. for months, i couldn't even make it to the canvas. it wasn't about staring at it. i felt overwhelmed, exhausted, and blank, which kept me from even picking up my pen or paintbrush.

hi, i’m sb! welcome to this little corner of the internet where i’m trying something new: blogging. this space is where i’ll share my thoughts, creative processes, and ideas.. a chance to be real about the journey of juggling life, school, art, and everything else. think of this as an introduction—to me, my story, and what drives my work.
