Raised By Saltwater

I grew up in Scituate, Massachusetts—a small beach town on the South Shore where summer meant salt in your hair, sand in your car, and the ocean never more than a few steps away. It was the kind of place where you knew the tides by heart, and where you could hear the waves crashing from your bedroom window.

Over the years, I’ve watched Scituate grow and change—new restaurants popping up, local businesses evolving, old spots getting a refresh, and the community shifting with the times. But no matter how much changes, that deep-rooted coastal spirit has stayed the same. It’s still a town where sunrises over the harbor feel magical and golden hour lights up the salt marsh like something out of a painting.

Surfing has always been part of my story. I grew up paddling out with my family, spending hours in the water chasing that next perfect ride. These days, I like to say I’m a proud baby wave surfer—still completely in love with the ocean, but happily catching the mellow ones. The sea is still my happy place, and it's where so much of my creativity and inspiration come from.

This blog is a space for me to share that inspiration with you. From local gems and seaside scenes to coastal-inspired designs and creative collabs, I’m here to document the beauty, the vibe, and the stories that make life by the water so special.

Whether I’m checking out a new spot in town, soaking up a salty sunset, or spotlighting a brand I love working with, I want this to feel like a place you can come to breathe it all in too. So grab your sunnies, settle in, and stay awhile—the beach is calling, and I’m so glad you’re here!
