What a beautiful chapter this has been.

Launching Story & Teller was the culmination of so many dreams - some I’d carried since childhood, sketching imaginary floor plans and staying up late rearranging my bedroom for the hundredth time. It’s been an incredible gift to bring those early passions to life through this brand, and even more so to watch it resonate with others in such meaningful ways.

Though this chapter is coming to a close, I want to take a moment to say, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you for welcoming Story & Teller into your homes, for supporting our Makers, and for believing in the power of thoughtful design. I am endlessly proud of the community and connections built in this short but incredibly special time - and honored to have met so many gregarious, compassionate, and inspiring people along the way.

While I am heartbroken to say goodbye to this business, I also recognize that sometimes life redirects us - not as a failure, but as a lesson, a redirection, a step forward. I will carry everything I’ve learned, all the memories made, and all of you with me as I move into whatever comes next.

If you’d like to stay in touch, you can always reach me at hello@storyandteller.co or follow along on Instagram, which I’ll be transitioning to share personal home projects and the ongoing evolution of my love for design.

Thank you, truly, for being a part of this journey. It has meant more than I can say.
