The Instinct & Reason collection was inspired by my own lifelong journey of struggling to connect deeply with others. As a highly analytical woman, I’ve always had to make an effort to show empathy when appropriate and avoid trying to “fix” my friends’ problems. This collection was created to remind those who feel imbalanced - whether that’s too analytical or too emotional - that their perspective is valuable. The philosopher and the animal in all of us don’t have to be at odds with one another.
