The Philosophy
Chromatic Kintsugi
Color Fixes Us
By Connecting Us To It's Universal Rhythm
Chromatic Kintsugi is inspired by the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold—honoring the cracks rather than concealing them. At More ∞ Joy, color is the gold. Every person carries stories of rupture, resilience, and becoming. Color allows those stories to surface safely—through clothing, movement, and creative expression. Instead of uniformity, we celebrate contrast. Instead of perfection, we embrace process.
Chromatic Kintsugi invites people to wear their healing, not hide it, reclaim joy through color and texture, and experience fashion as somatic, emotional, and relational. More ∞ Joy is not fast fashion. It is intentionally designed in a relational fashion—designed to be worn, felt, and remembered.
My Joy
Co-Creation in Bloom
Glue Lines, Flower Fields, and Memories That Last Forever! Some projects blossom because of color. Others because of courage. At Fern Fest, this one grew from both. Collaborating with Iris was a treat I’ll remember longer than the event.
Nurture Your Nature
It’s been six years since I made the quiet, powerful decision to begin healing—slowly and carefully, one practice at a time. What started as sobriety has become something much larger: a full-body return to myself.
Celebrating Neurodiversity With Color
At More Joy, we believe that when people are given space to create, feel, and exist without interruption, something magical happens. We honor the beautiful spectrum of neurodiversity and invite you into a more colorful, inclusive, and joyful way of being.
Creating a Creator
Dash Dyeing With the Wind! In this reflection inspired by David Lynch’s The Grandmother, I explore how my own creative practice—dash dyeing in my backyard with pigment, wind, and intuition—has become a sacred ritual that has transformed me. This is the story of how we make what we need, and
Forging Your Own Patterns with Dashed Dye
Dash-dyeing is about positive aspects of letting go. There’s no way to control every part of the outcome—just like in life. But in that surrender, something beautiful happens.
Embracing Stains as Places for Transformation
By showing up authentically—grounded, messy, and human—you normalize imperfection and create space for genuine connection. Joy is found not in erasing flaws but in transforming them into something extraordinary. Pursue what lights you up, wear your colors boldly, and celebrate being beautifully human.
Abstract Expression Meets Fashion
Abstract art invites reflection, connection, and creativity, and so does dash dyeing. This process isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s an emotional journey and an invitation to create.
Finding Healing in the Legacy of Alexander McQueen
Alexander McQueen didn’t just make clothes; he told stories. His designs were bold, fierce, and unapologetically emotional. He was a designer who poured his soul into his creations, and you can do it, too.
The Nature of Color
See how a trip to the museum might shift your mood in a way that your brain can know. The Nature of Color might show you what you need more of but you have to go there to experience it first hand! Bring your curiosity!
Sharing the Dash
Creating together with Sara and her daughters during a Dash Dye session was a beautiful reminder of the power of family learning.
