BOTANICAL LIVING

Plants have always moved easily between the garden, the kitchen and the ways we care for ourselves. I’m interested in those connections — the ingredients we cook with, grow, create with and return to in the small rituals of everyday life.

That’s the world.

BOTANICAL LIVING BOTANICAL LIV

01 - In the Kitchen

Where ingredients begin.

The kitchen is often where I get curious first. Herbs pulled from the garden, a good olive oil, sea salt, citrus, spices — familiar ingredients with histories, traditions and uses that reach far beyond a recipe. I'm interested in what they bring to the table, why they've endured and what happens when we pay closer attention to them.

02 - On the Skin

The same ingredients, considered differently.

Many of the plants and oils we know from the kitchen have equally long histories of use on the skin. Olive and coconut oils, oats, honey, herbs, clays and salts move easily between these worlds. Here, I explore what they do, how they're used and why simple, thoughtfully chosen ingredients can still feel remarkably luxurious.

03 - In Daily Ritual

The things we return to.

A ritual doesn't have to be elaborate to change the texture of a day. Making tea. Writing in a journal. Cutting herbs from the garden. Cooking something slowly. Taking a bath. Working with your hands. I'm interested in the sensory details — scent, touch, taste and repetition — that can turn ordinary routines into something worth noticing.

Agnes & Eva

A project taking shape, one batch at a time.

Agnes & Eva began with a simple fascination: what happens when the botanical oils, minerals and familiar ingredients I was already exploring become something you can make with your hands?

Named for my two grandmothers, Agnes & Eva is a cold-process soap project I've been developing slowly — mixing, pouring, cutting, curing and refining each batch as I learn. The ingredients are thoughtful, the scents are soft, and the process itself has become as interesting to me as the finished soap.

I'm still discovering what Agnes & Eva will become. For now, it's a place to experiment, make something beautiful and useful, and follow an idea wherever it leads.
