The last few months have felt… different.
I’ve found myself questioning not just what I want Woven Palm to make, but who I want to become while making it.
Somewhere between teaching, raising a family, navigating perimenopause and trying to build a small business, I’d stopped leaving space to simply be curious.
Then we took some much needed time and did some wandering …
In Japanese there’s a concept called Ma (間).
It describes the meaningful space between things.
Not empty. Not wasted. But necessary.
Maybe creativity works like that too, and businesses, and people?
Maybe this season isn’t asking me to work harder.
Maybe it’s asking me to notice more.
To sketch more.
To collect ideas again.
To fall back in love with leather, not because it has to become a product…
…but because I love what it allows me to create.
I don’t know exactly what the next chapter of Woven Palm looks like,
but for the first time in a while, I’m excited to find out.
