By now, you probably know that my name is Heather. I’m 34 years old, living the DINK life with my husband and our new puppy, Stanley. We moved to Menifee from San Diego in 2024, but Orange County is where I consider “home.”

Up until high school, I was a “military brat,” which allowed me to grow up in many different places both domestically and overseas—a unique experience that wasn’t always easy, but one that I am extremely grateful for. Being able to see different parts of the world at such a young age and experience so many different cultures has not only impacted who I am as a person, but has also influenced who I am as a creative.

I did not follow a traditional education route, and my career path hasn’t always been linear, but one thing that has always remained is my drive to pursue the things I am passionate about. From embarking on a career in fashion, to pivoting into the beauty industry and starting an Esthetician business, and now building a career as a graphic designer in the CPG beauty space —looking back and seeing where I am now, it truly feels full-circle. Each experience and every detour has led this far, and I cannot wait to see where else my passion leads me.

Outside of work, I’m usually in the kitchen cooking or baking something new, at an early-morning Pilates class, or hunting down the next great coffee shop or restaurant to try on the weekend. I love concerts, time with my favorite people, and—on the flip side—thoroughly embracing the occasional couch-rotting marathon while my husband and I binge reality TV (lol). I try to travel whenever I can, but I also love of a cozy weekend staycation nearby. And now that I’ve recently entered my homeowner era, I spend a lot of time making Pinterest boards and plotting my next DIY project.
