I really don’t like onions—the smell, the taste, the crunch. To me, they always overpower a dish, especially when they’re raw. They mask the good stuff underneath
RevIval: The Ave Maria Tee Story.
When I first designed the original Ave Maria Tee last August, I had no marketing plan in place — just a desire to find faith in design, to let creativity lead me closer to Jesus through Mary in a renewed way.

The Chosen: Last Supper.
For the past three weeks during Lent I have went to watch The Chosen: Last Supper in Theatres. As a lifelong student of History and above all a Catholic Christian.

My Lenten journey looks very different this year. I haven’t done any studies or read any books like I have done in the past.

The Catholic Edit: Ma Mère edition.
Twelve years ago today on All Hallows Eve, my Mother had her funeral Mass and burial. It just feels like yesterday or a million years ago all in one… a strange timelessness that grief often creates for us.
The Catholic Edit: Ave Maria Tee/Carmelite.
