Tell us a little bit about your story and what led you to this beautiful body of work that is yours.

I moved to Austin in 2008, and when I came here, I'd already had started a little baby business on Maui, where I moved here from.

But when I came here, I wanted to open up a retail space where I sold lingerie and sexual wellness items and objects.

And I ended up doing that.

I opened up in 2009, and at the time, I had very little awareness around the stigma around sexuality here in Texas, maybe the South, and I would just say generally overall in our culture.

Being in that space for 10 years here was very eye-opening.

The conversations I was having with women in the dressing rooms on the daily about their bodies, about their lives and their relationships, their struggles, they were sharing things with me that they were clearly not sharing with anyone else.

So when you work with women, what does that work actually look like, and what becomes available to them on the other side of it?
