See you this Saturday at Filipino Island Fest 2026! I'm bringing everything to the table - custom closed and mini terrariums, plus a ton of plants ready for adoption. So proud to be part of this annual event and can't wait to meet you all!

Come find the Bambuhay tent, say hello, and geek out about plants with me. We'll be celebrating Bay Area Filipino and Island culture together - food, cultural performances, and so many amazing creatives and makers all in one place. Take a little nature home with you while you're there!

Ask me about the workshops and events I host around the Bay Area, and how I can bring a terrarium workshop directly to your organization, school, or workplace. See you Saturday!

September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month.

Plants have always been a quiet anchor for me. Something to tend to. Something that grows even when everything else feels heavy.

If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out. You don’t have to figure it out alone. 💚

I’ve wanted to make more of these for so long.

Life got in the way. Work got in the way. Time got in the way.
Then I realized -- if I make it part of the work, I’ll actually do it.
So I did. And the moment I started, I remembered why I love this.

I didn't get much sleep last night, but the hyperfocus was super fun and creative!

Tiny little living worlds.

Sometimes you need a reason to start. The love shows up once you do.

This was Tawi-Tawi, southern Philippines - part of my Parangal immersion trip with my dance group. Sitting with one of the most stunning alocasias I’ve ever seen in person.

Sometimes the plants find you exactly when you need them.
