Nature-inspired experiences

Twigitecture and fort building are lifelong passions. A human nest made of upcycled branches, thoughtfully salvaged when my favorite tree became a hazard to hitting and wiping out my home. I was heartbroken to have to take down an epic tree after our 2023 bomb cyclone storm. Over-soaked sandy soil and endless rain caused bark rot and trunk damage. Trees and branches lovingly honored and mindfully reassembled over time as a human nest.
