People ask what I do and I have never had a short answer. A&R at Sony. Retail. A thousand hours of yoga teacher training across Kundalini, Hatha, and Ashtanga. Co-founding a festival in Canada for seven years. Kinesiology. A tea practice I have studied for a decade. Now a clothing label made by hand in Bali. For years I thought the honest answer to "what do you do" was a kind of confession, like I had never managed to settle. My Human Design chart told me something different. I was never unsettled. I was doing exactly what I was built for.

The type that explains a career that never sat still

In Human Design, I am a Manifesting Generator, part of the roughly a third of people whose energy is meant to move through many things at once rather than master one lane. The design is not scattered, it is multi-passionate by nature. The work was never to pick one thing and stay there. The work was to notice what I still had energy for, follow it fully, and have the courage to pivot the moment the energy left. Every chapter, the music industry, the yoga mat, the festival, the tea table, the sewing table in Bali, was not a detour from the last one. It was the same design doing what it does.

Waiting to respond, not chasing

My strategy is to wait to respond rather than to initiate, which is a strange thing to build a business on until you watch it work. The Bali artisan network that carries this entire brand today was not a five year plan. It formed quietly, intuitively, in response to what was already around me, long before I understood why. When the pandemic collapsed our factories in India and the wider industry alongside them, that network was already standing. We did not chase our way out of that collapse. We had already responded our way into the thing that would carry us through it. I have written more about how that actually happened in how we built a fashion brand that survived COVID.

Emotional clarity and the discipline of slowness

My decision making authority runs through emotion, not instinct in the moment. Clarity for me does not arrive on the spot. It arrives after I have slept on something, felt the high of it and the low of it, and waited for the charge to settle into a quiet, steady yes. I used to think this made me slow. Now I recognize it as the same discipline the clothes are built on. A botanical dye takes seven days before it is finished revealing itself. A made to order piece takes weeks because the fabric, the hands, and the moment all have to arrive at the same time. Slowness was never the obstacle in my design or in this brand. It was always the method.

The hermit and the role model

Solitude is not optional for me, it is how I recharge enough to be useful to anyone else. I carry what shows up in Human Design as a kind of hermit quality alongside a role model energy, someone who is watched and learned from most easily when she is not performing for it. My chart describes life in three stages: the first thirty years for trial and experimentation, thirty to fifty for retreat, objective observation, and investing only in what has actually proven itself, and fifty onward for embodying what all of that taught you. I am living the middle stage right now, in Bali, building slowly, choosing carefully what deserves my energy. It is not a coincidence that the brand moves at the same pace I do.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Manifesting Generator in Human Design? One of five Human Design types, roughly a third of the population, defined by fast, multi-passionate energy meant for building and creating across more than one pursuit rather than a single, linear path.

What does emotional authority mean? A decision making style where clarity develops over time through the emotional wave rather than in the moment, meaning the wisest choices come after waiting, not reacting.

How does Human Design relate to running a business? It offers a framework for working with your natural energy rather than against it, including when to initiate versus respond, how quickly to decide, and what kind of environment lets your particular design actually thrive.
