Growing up in a small town outside of Houston, TX, my family has upheld a century long farming tradition. Venturing beyond the farm, my first foray into the working world at 15 entailed working at the cotton gin, an experience that gave rise to the popular hashtag #iknowhowyourclothesgrow. Even now, amidst the scorching Texas heat, you can spot me lending a hand during the bustling harvest season and diligently capturing snippets of our farm life through my lens. #bteam all the way! Please check out the farm page to get a real behind the scenes.

I recently transitioned the farm material over to @mikeskafarms on instagram, but you can still find some on @from_farm_to_fashion. Note- we are not on other platforms at this moment after previously being hacked.

I hold a B.S. in Consumer Science and Merchandising from the University of Houston. During my time in college, I gained practical experience by working with reputable brands such as Macy’s, Victoria’s Secret, and interning with Target during their initial designer collaborations to offer affordable fashion pieces. Developing an understanding of how Target’s retail business works from front to back logistically. Working through a store as it nears completion allows for a deep dive into each area. The way the shelves are organized, the thought behind the product placement, and how the overall layout all contributes to the store's atmosphere. I received great insight and hands on experience on how each department is managed from a fully functional running store. As well as what goes into opening a new store.

In the property management, I gained extensive experience across various roles, from top sales, to marketing and eventually becoming the assistant property manager of a high-end complex at the time. My journey in the industry provided me with invaluable insights into client relations, strategic marketing techniques, and effective management practices. All while managing a full time school load, rent free!

Over the years, I have collaborated with many brands including renowned brands like Discover Cotton, and contributed to the social media team for Marburger Farms during antique week.

Collaborating effectively opens a gateway to innovation and creativity, enabling us to explore new avenues together.

It all began with the simple act of organizing a closet for a friend when we were younger so we could go out. Over the years, I have found solace in bringing order to many spaces, including those of the individuals I have had the pleasure of styling.

Recently, I have partnered with a girlfriend of mine from Simply Organized Spaces. She has been a prominent figure in the scene for quite a while now, focusing on organizing all spaces within the home, and businesses. It’s refreshing to collaborate with her whenever a big project comes up, as it allows me to tap into my creative instincts. I particularly enjoy styling the spaces, handling the photography and editing, as well as managing the social media aspect of these endeavors.

This dynamic of teamwork and creativity also extends to other collaborators I've worked with during Antique Week in Round Top, TX. Joining forces with like-minded individuals not only brings about a sense of fulfillment but also results in successful outcomes that we all take pride in.

I have been involved in various styling projects, including photo shoots for BB1 Classic, Cutloose hair salon, and Kneaded Fashion, among others. My work extended to collaborating with designers and photographers on various shoots, from weddings and engagements to interiors. As well as personal shopping and styling.

In more recent years, I have delved into interior styling for photo shoots, embarking on collaborations with Houston-based interior designer, Court House. Together, with photographer Sara Essex, we have worked on several shoots showcasing the homes she meticulously designed. She was featured in select magazines, with one of the homes styled adorning the cover of LUXE.

Supporting people and their businesses is a practice I wholeheartedly embrace.

I have had the privilege in the past of being a member of Dress for Success as a personal shopper and WOW (Women of Wardrobe). These organizations play a crucial role in empowering women to regain their confidence and support as they re-enter the workforce.

As someone who frequently explores the market to stay abreast of trends, discovering unique designers and exclusive pieces is a genuine thrill. The art of negotiation adds an extra layer of excitement to the shopping experience, especially when it leads to securing a fantastic deal. Vintage finds hold a special place, with each piece narrating a story. Embracing these elements adds an enriching dimension to the shopping journey.

You can find me at almost every Round Top antique show, accompanied by my trusty partner in crime and my sweet Doberman. Adding to my eclectic crew at home is a remarkably cool cat who found his way into my life during cotton season. Not to forget my affectionate cow and her calf, whom I rescued on a memorable Christmas Eve 17, highlighting my undeniable farm girl roots. My cow manifesting may have gone a little too far. The newest additions can be found under cows on the farm, Werlla & WIlla. I’m a hot yoga junkie, and have been certified in 200ytt and Buti yoga. However, amidst all this, family reigns supreme in my heart.
