In August, I got to return to Ox-Bow to take a two-week class: Glass-Blown Organics with @christenbaker_ 
I was able to bring my family for part of the stay—we hiked, climbed trees to alarmingly tall heights, and visited rock beach—and got to stay together in one of the my favorite cabins. 

It was my first time blowing glass and I found it to be really challenging and also pretty thrilling. Christen made a batch from Michigan beach sand, which is rich in the glacial sediments copper and iron, which give it its blue-green color (the same sand source for Ball canning jars). I enjoyed playing with the extra not-yet-glass mixture she removed early from the furnace, using it as frit in various glacier-inspired experiments. I loved working on a team to help each of us realize our plans. The class and studio techs were all wonderful. 

It was another intense and incredible two weeks. 🙌

Today is my last day at Target. Swipe for a stroll down memory lane.

I interned in Women’s Ready-to-Wear on the Ava & Viv team in 2017, and joined the Universal Thread team full time in 2018. I have nothing but love for the amazing people I was privileged enough to work with on a daily basis and the genuine friendships I made along the way. It feels beyond strange and honestly pretty sad to turn the page on this chapter of my life, but I’m very excited for my next opportunity! It felt like the right time to further explore who I am as a designer, this time with a new company in a new city. 

First photo is when I fell in love with California on my first work trip out there. Excited to say I’ll be returning to the west coast more permanently soon - this time, SF ✨

PS - there’s a 20 person tag limit, so I couldn’t tag everyone in my team photo, but you know who you are!!!!!!! ❤️
