HAPPIEST BEHIND THE MACHINE.

In 2020, I taught myeslf to sew and being behind the machine quickly became my happy place. 39th & West are the cross streets of my family beach house in Ocean City New Jersey. We've been going to OCNJ every summer since before I was born, second to the sewing machine, it is my happiest place on earth. Merging those two loves is how 39th & West was brought to life.

    gifting is my love language <3

    The joy of giving is in my DNA. It is how, and always will be, one of the ways I express love. From digitizing old home videos for my parents anniversary, to designing a surprise weekend ski getaway for my husbands birthday, curating gifts fills my cup.

    WHEN I'M NOT SEWING YOU CAN FIND ME...

    • playing grass volleyball every wednesday evening in the summers.

    • slamming a dozen oysters with my husband, alongside a glass of bubbly obviously.

    • telling my two cats they are perfect for the 22nd time that day.

    • watching a green bay packer game—go pack go.

    • fully submerged in the waters of crane beach.

    • reading smut at the bunker hill monument in charlestown.
