Hi, I’m Stacie.

I’m a deeply curious person, always in the practice—of learning, unlearning, and becoming. I aim to move through life like light itself—bending, shifting, illuminating.

By day, I collaborate and support architects, engineers and lighting designers, helping bring envisioned spaces to life, always fascinated by how light moves, breathes, and interacts with the world. In the quieter hours, I immerse myself in deep research within the field of psychology—exploring human emotion, unraveling complex narratives, and studying transformation at its core.

Creativity is in my DNA. Rooted in Laurel Canyon, I move through a world of sound and motion, surrounded by artists and endless inspiration. Growing up in surf and skate culture, I carry that rhythm with me—fluid, ever-evolving, and in sync with the pulse of life.

I find humor in just about everything. Life throws curveballs—or maybe I do—but either way, I just laugh. Laughter is true alchemy; it makes everything lighter. And honestly, there’s nothing better than a well-timed joke. It’s my favorite sport.

I maintain daily practices that keep me grounded, aligning mind, body, and spirit in ways that feel both ancient and ever-evolving. Along the way, I’ve been fortunate to receive teachings rooted in lineages that speak in silence more than sound. These teachings live in me—not as doctrine, but as a quiet pulse—shaping how I listen, how I create, and how I hold space for others on their path inward.

I write to make sense of the world, capture raw moments through my lens, and chase inspiration across time zones. Multi-citizen, multi-passionate, always exploring what’s next. And no matter what, I’m always deep in a project with my partner in crime and life, Norman—creating, exploring, and pushing boundaries in ways that defy the ordinary.
