From feature blogs that highlight my practice living an everyday life in Malawi in S.E. Africa to blogs that offer you the insight & inspiration behind the pieces I design and make.
May they help you in attaining greater peace and joy in all aspects of your life no matter where you live.

About Patti
I hope in this third act of my life I can integrate all the lessons I have learned, and that this site can be a place of refuge & laughter that lead all of us to connect with greater ease and that it ultimately serves to reduce suffering particularly in Malawi, my soul’s home.
Black Lit Bags
A BLACKLIT CAMPAIGN COLLECTION OF 12 BAGS
The black circle replaces the green in a typical traffic light to send a clear signifier, “THE GO,” to a future that is primarily led by black and brown/indigenous women and wisdom holders. Each of the bags has its own specific story and has a black circle.
