One week into 2025 and my city is burning. It’s been heavy to watch LA burn from far. I usually like to curl up at the end of the year and do a year end post - maybe in a couple weeks. 2024 was an insane year for so many reasons and I know I’m not the only one that felt the heavy wait of 2024.
I’ve been working slowly on CKD’s coffee table book. 2024 was a whirlwind—so much has shifted and changed. I feel like a completely different person than I was just a year ago. Every time I thought I had a couple pages done something would happen which would change my perspective. So I decided to do this slowly, even it takes me a couple of years. Building a brand, ensuring the company stays profitable, and trying to maintain a personal and social life—it can get overwhelming. It doesn’t all come together at once.
I’m currently working on a mural for a new restaurant opening in Montreal next month, and with the deadline due, I have to get back to it soon. But before I do, I wanted to share a quick update and leave a page from the book. This one is titled The Plumb Line—a deep dive into the process of creating a bespoke piece and everything that goes into it. For me it’s always been about constantly exploring beyond my comfort zone. It’s not just about textile, it’s about fashion and architecture, jewelry design, travel, product design, music - they all interconnect and work together
