Hi, I'm Sydney!
Writer. Editor. Designer. Dog mom.
I’m a curious gal with an ever-growing collection of interests—from wine and watercolor to music, architecture, and the small rituals that make everyday life more meaningful. I believe tradition is worth cultivating, and I love nothing more than creative projects that widen others’ worlds.
HOW I WORK
All of my projects sprout from passion.
Every project begins with the same question: How can I invite someone a little closer into this world I love? Whether I’m the writer, the editor, or the designer, my goal is always to leave someone feeling more confident, more curious, and eager to keep exploring.
I’m drawn to projects that reward careful observation, thoughtful design, and a genuine appreciation for their subject. I enjoy taking ideas that can feel intimidating or exclusive and presenting them with clarity, warmth, and attention to detail.
CURRENT PROJECTS
I start most mornings with a cup of tea and an open notebook.
Whether through words, music, or thoughtful design, I love shaping ideas into stories. At the moment, I’m working on a nonfiction book project that bridges a lifelong fascination with my obsession for deep research.
Alongside my career, I’m also studying songwriting at Berklee College of Music and relishing the fresh creative challenges that come with trying a new art form.
Keep an eye on my blog to see what's been on my desk lately.
BEYOND WORK
There's no better feeling than being a beginner.
As a curator of hobbies, I never pass up the chance to try something new.
I’ve never been very good at having just one hobby. Every new interest eventually leads me somewhere unexpected and I’ve found that most interesting ideas rarely stay in one lane.
When I’m not writing, you’ll usually find me with a watercolor palette, swimming in the lake, or relaxing with my rescue husky, Kyle. I’m currently obsessing over the beauty of pairing wine, cheese, and chocolate, though history suggests another hobby will probably appear before long.
Whatever I’m up to, I’m almost always chasing the same feeling: the moment something unfamiliar suddenly becomes approachable. Those are the experiences I hope to create for others through my work.
My Philosophy
Go far and wide,
then narrow in.
