the journey
My story began in the beauty industry, where I owned and designed my own salon. There, I saw how the energy of a space could change how people felt in their skin — confident, seen, radiant.
Years later, as a yoga and meditation teacher, I learned a different kind of alignment — not just in the body, but in the home, the breath, and the energy we hold. Movement taught me how energy behaves. Stillness taught me how to listen.
Then came another shift: I joined my husband’s 106‑year‑old family lumber business, where I helped create Eastman Cartwright Home, a design division within a working lumberyard. It was a return to the bones of the home — craftsmanship, materials, structure — and a reminder that the unseen architecture of a space (its history, its energy, its invitation) matters as much as the things we place inside it.
As I evolved, Feng Shui found me — or maybe I finally found the language for what I had always felt. It revealed that the home is not separate from the self. That our spaces mirror our stories. That alignment, when done with intention, heals.
​Haus 1888
In 2024, I found a miner’s cottage in Galena, Illinois — built in 1888 — and began a slow, intentional restoration.
I didn’t just renovate that home. I listened to it.
Each decision — each brushstroke, each object chosen — became a conversation between beauty and energy, past and present.
That cottage became the quiet teacher that shaped how I now work with every client: intuitively, slowly, and with reverence.
a quiet invitation to trust what you feel
THIS LOGO ISN'T JUST A BRAND MARK
the logo
I didn’t want a logo that just looked nice.
I wanted a mark that felt like an extension of the work itself.
From the beginning, I had a vision — a sense of how it should feel before I knew exactly what it should look like.
I guided the process, trusting my inner knowing the same way I trust it when I step into a client’s space.
​Every choice was made with intention:
THE TYPOGRAPHY
​
clean but soulful, evoking quiet luxury.
THE SPACING
​
deliberate, giving the mark room to breathe.
THE PALETTE
moody, earthy, and timeless, like the spaces I create.
