What sparked the original idea to create Eye-swoon?

What sparked the original idea to create Eye-swoon? A year and a half ago, after a summer at the beach, I found myself between design projects. I felt a lull in creativity and I started Eye-swoon as the answer to that lull. I love making things beautiful - whether it’s my immediate, physical environment or the food that I create – and I wanted to share those little sparks of inspiration and see what journeys they would inspire for others. When I’m designing a space, I can always trace the inspiration back to a singular moment or image that gave me the vision for the complete room. The same thing happens with an amazing bite of food. Suddenly, I’ll find myself running out to re-create it and add my own twist. Eye-swoon became a way for me to group all those fragmented moments and give them one voice that speaks to all the sides of me, the design-addict, the fashion-lover, the food-obsessed, the mom, the wife. And hopefully it can do the same for people that share those interests and seek out inspiration.
