About The Creator

I am committed to a life that feels good. One where I prioritize people, creative pursuits, and a life full of music and books.
This newsletter is an extension of that mindset.
The world is constantly telling us who and how to be. I want nothing to do with it. But there is so much I do want to create and experience.
The Canary is where I share what I'm working on and exploring, with the hope that it will inspire you to be creative and build a life that feels good to you too.
