Finding Ease: My Journey as a Space Curator
Today I am turning the lens inward. This piece is about myself, the person behind WITH J C M L. In common terminology I am called a consultant or stylist, though I prefer the term Space Curator. My practice embodies more than a simple consultation. I help others find a heightened sense of ease within their environmental spaces, supporting their natural rhythm to move toward alignment.
My journey began in fashion, where I discovered my passion for personalised service and my ability to guide others. Transitioning into interiors and space curation felt like an organic breath, allowing me to blend two disciplines I love. Bridging the gap between personal style and physical space has been a source of joy and happiness for me.
What lights me up most about this work is helping clients uncover their inner truths and find comfort in their surroundings. It is a privilege to facilitate this growth, watching them discover new aspects of themselves and their relationship with their environment. This work is precious to me and I am humbled by the opportunity to make a positive impact.
Sustainable Creative Practice
As someone who values sustainability, my creative practice is simple yet effective. I work from anywhere using a humble desk space and my trusty laptop, notepad, favourite ink pen and a reliable internet connection. This setup allows me to focus on the work at hand, unencumbered by distractions.
When I am feeling overwhelmed or carrying too many projects simultaneously, I have learned to slow down and pace myself. As a naturally peaceful Projector, I prioritise my energy and flow through tasks methodically. Through my work, I aim to meet the need for individuals to find clarity and alignment in their lives.
In a world that increasingly values individuality, it is more important than ever to prioritise self awareness and intention. By helping clients create grounded, aligned spaces, I am not only improving their physical environment but also supporting their emotional and mental wellbeing.
My physical environment profoundly impacts my creative output. I am attuned to natural light, spatial energies and the sensory texture of a space. This intuitive awareness guides my design decisions, ensuring that every element serves both the individual and their environment. Most days I work from a desk space kept intentionally simple. A laptop, notepad, favourite ink pen and a warm cup of tea. Less clutter means more room for clarity. When I am not using digital media, I switch back to analogue, sketching, writing and exploring different formats of tactile play in creativity and art.
Practices That Feed My Work
Breathing and meditation, yoga, dance, song, movement, writing and nature walks feed my creative discipline. As a Projector, I am drawn to authentic conversations and meaningful connections with others. These practices nourish my work, allowing me to approach each client journey with compassion and understanding.
Human Design
As a Splenic Projector, Human Design wisdom informs my approach, allowing me to tailor my guidance to each individual energy type and needs. By embracing their natural gifts and tendencies, I help others find clarity, purpose and fulfilment in their lives, both within themselves and in their physical spaces.
Since I was young I was in tune with energetic frequencies, yet I was unequipped with the tools or language to express these gifts. Highly sensitive and intuitive as an empath, I pick up on other people’s frequencies around me, allowing me to experience moments of profound emotional depth. Once provided the knowledge of this through Human Design, I understood my need for emotional boundaries and clarity, not only within myself but when relating to others, knowing when to tune in and when not to. Having that knowing and ability allowed me the space to trust my intuition and understand what is best influencing my wellbeing.
A Lasting Impact
I hope that those who encounter my work will feel seen, heard and guided toward their highest potential. My intention is to empower individuals to create spaces that nurture their soul, allowing them to live more authentically and joyfully. By helping others find ease and alignment, I am not only improving their physical environment but also contributing, one space at a time, to something more grounded.
WITH J C M L is still young and born from the idea that life, work and home work best when synchronised with flow. This is only the beginning.
