WHERE SACRED FIRE MEETS THE COLLECTIVE PULSE
My mom said that I came out fist first - high in the sky - and that’s when she know that I was a fighter. Pop said that I came out “reaching "for the stars.” Luckily for the collective, two things can be true at once.
I’m Corrine
I’m Corrine
& if you're here - you've felt it, haven't you? The Dissonance. The pressure to perform wellness while silently unraveling. The way systems dress up control and call it care. I’ve spent a lifetime tracking those patterns. In bodies - in relationships - in institutions.
Before I had language, I had knowing. I knew who was shrinking. I knew the cost of being too much, too honest, too free. You see, I didn’t learn this work - it chose me.
Throughout my career, I’ve been a key member of multidisciplinary teams navigating the complexities of survivor justice in carceral, educational, clinical, and nonprofit spaces.
Whether designing community-rooted violence prevention for youth, consulting on anti-oppressive curriculum for local and national organizations, or building financial access for small businesses navigating systemic barriers; my work is defined by relationship, precision, and a refusal to replicate the very systems we seek to heal from.
I CAME INTO THIS WORLD WITH AN ABILITY TO SEE POWER DYNAMICS
My mission? TO FORGE A REALITY free from OPPRESSION. A WORLD WHERE Power DOESN’T REQUIRE Erasure. WHERE Healing ISN’T EARNED THROUGH Silence. WHERE Systemic Harm ISN’T BRANDED AS Care.
But how do I do that? I build environments where bodies, voices, & futures are not just tolerated, but held sacred.
By creating environments that offer solutions that honor the
c o m p l e x i t y of humanity

I'm a 6/2 Emotional Manifesting Generator with the LAX of Uncertain (8/14, 55/59) - But the nuances in Human Design (and the Gene Keys) is what ignites my soul.

During undergrad, my goal was to join the FBI as a Special Agent in Human Trafficking. But that was thrown out the window when I went to apply and had to be in good standings for student loans. $10 per hour in 100,000 worth of debt meant being homeless and paying my loans or putting a roof above my head. The whole thing is outrageous - but I’ll end it there.
I took my life back when I was 24 years old. 10 years ago, I was skin and bones and it was either continue being consumed by abusive cycles and maintain my role in the abuse, or choose me. I chose me. And now I’ll stop at nothing to get people what they deserve.
I was in hospitality for 15 years & it’s where I’ve learned how much I truly love the art of creating space. Fifteen years in hospitality will teach you everything about people -how to read them, how to hold space, how to create energy that moves. At one point, I left forensic mental health altogether just to breathe and regroup in this space. It gave me clarity. It reminded me what I’m really good at…. Making People Feel Something
I quit the field in October of 2021. Just like most things, this decision wasn’t based off of one factor or reason. In February of 2021, a massive epiphany came through in the middle of a training - How am I supposed to determine competency when the law doesn’t take trauma into account? At that point, I was aiming to go for my Psy.D. to open a private practice as a Forensic Psychologist. Well.. that little epiphany grew and as I dove deeper I came to the conclusion that what I’m supposed to do, isn’t going to fit a mold - and if I continue to try and fit that mold - I’ll continue living in a state of survival. That first ground breaking epiphany? Come to find out, it was during my Saturn return.. and as a 6/2, this Saturn return was looking to send me straight up to the roof.
I'm a Soft Summer. This may seem silly - but I’m not simply a career choice or path.. despite my soul being deeply intertwined with what I “do” or how/who I “serve.” I took a color analysis and I’m a soft summer - which makes a TON of sense and has propelled me into another level of acceptance. It prompted me to come back to a part of myself that’s been protected by a bold, fierce, and loud Corrine. To soften into all aspects of who I am and embrace the ethereal, soft, feminine parts of my soul that deserve to take center stage. And this part of me is spilling not only onto my physical appearance, but into my design work.
I'm holding space for the designer in me to expand. What can I say, I'm a late Taurus. Justina Blakeney unleashed my tactile design. She spoke to my soul and I’ve embraced not only the web design aspect of myself, but that if and when interior design is meant to be, it will happen. No force, no pressure, all ease.
