A love letter to Fort Point.

In 2001, I began my first job in architecture in a 30-person office in Fort Point. I had just graduated from Syracuse University, the first person in my family to graduate from college, and I was working for free.

My parents were concerned.

Back then, the area now known as the Seaport was mostly parking lots and fishing docks, including the ones where my dad unloaded fish. Fort Point was a hidden gem filled with artists, architects, tucked-away restaurants, and mom-and-pop shops. It had an edge and a soul.

I spent 13 years there. We learned from one another, grew up together, fell in love, got married, and started families. The place and the people felt like home.

As the Seaport grew, Fort Point changed. Eventually, I moved outside the city and later started @artexperienced .

I forgot about Fort Point too.

Then I met @danasearle and she told me about the new @hawksmoorbos .. I was skeptical. But she invited me to visit and I went.

Tucked among the old mill buildings, it felt like a discovery. Inside, there were hand-drawn menus, brass fixtures, velvet seating, and handwritten chalkboards. It felt warm, layered, and personal. Somehow, it balanced the new neighborhood with the soul of the old one.

It felt like home.

When I was asked to create a postcard honoring the opening, I designed it to feel like a page from my sketchbook. Not perfect, but personal and comfortable.

Every commission tells a story. This one tells a little bit of mine.

Thank you @danasearle for the generous invitation. We are still thinking about that fluff sundae!

Today we celebrated 50 years of Camp Young Judaea Sprout Lake, a place that shaped me 💙💚. It’s where I made lifelong friendships, built confidence, and felt a deep sense of belonging. It was so special to be back today with five decades of campers and staff, reveling in the magic of this community. Grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it.
