Artist’s eye.
Traveler’s heart.
Midwestern soul.

Mimi is a shopkeeper, graphic designer, mixed-media artist and photographer. She lived in Florence, traveled through Spain and France as a child, found her way to Fiji and Hawaii, fell hard for California, and never lost the Midwestern instinct to make a place feel like home.

She notices old gates, good typography, shop windows, garden walls, mountain light—and almost certainly the bird you missed.
