concrete and full of color.

the one place on earth where i feel the safest and the most connected to myself is the Downtown LA Artist District. the years i spent living in this neighborhood grew and shaped me in ways that essentially made me who i am today.

my style aesthetic is 100% built on the things i loved about DTLA life, and so even now when i need to reconnect, i take a drive to the corner of Traction and Hewitt, my personal heaven.

i left LA for a few years to grow my career and to build a life with my husband Jesse, and on my first trip back home to visit i saw a new art piece had been erected in my ‘hood. The artist was Tristan Eaton, a friend of my friends. dude’s style had me CAPTIVATED— like, blown out of the water, so to see this piece of art in [what i considered to be] MY home turf, it was love at first sight.

ffwd 10 or so years to now—i just bought myself Tristan Eaton’s 2nd magazine (which is actually a coffee table book) called TROUBLE 2 and it is *insert1000 flame emojis* !
