Welcome!

If Beatrix Potter lived in a six-floor walk-up in a 2025-era New York City, I’m a watercolor artist and writer who shares her “cottage in the city” with her sister and small gray cat, Birdie.

By day, I am a freelance brand strategist and social media producer working with brands like Refinery29 and Garmentory. By night, I write a newsletter about infusing creative joy, curiosity, and intentional living into day-to-day life.

Handle with Care Studio is a true labor of love and a project I’ve always dreamt of putting out into the world. Thank you for visiting my shop and supporting my work.

I hope you enjoy your stay, and as always,

handle with care
