I created Poised Petal to share my thoughts, inspirations, and ideas on design, fashion, and art.

Design has always been a part of my life, whether it’s expressed through décor or planning my next party; I see the world through a kaleidoscope of colour, shape, and proportion. I often feel inspired when traveling to a new city, watching a great flick, or simply indulging in a delectable dish. I love searching for DIY inspirations, shopping for vintage and a good dance party. My wardrobe essential is a fabulous party dress…or two. I love wearing dresses; they make me feel feminine & confident. Whether exploring a new city or rediscovering an old favorite; I call Toronto, Canada my home.

Artistry in its many forms challenges our intellect, the “norm”, and our perception of beauty. I want to inspire creativity in your day-to-day by showcasing the intriguing & the quirky.

Thanks for taking time to explore Poised Petal. I hope that you continue to use this site for inspiration.
