THIS IS FOR ALL THE DREAMERS +
HELLO, I’M SUMMER
YES… LIKE THE SEASON.
Growing up I HATED my name. I was teased me relentlessly. I loved where my name came from - my dads middle name is Summers (named after my Grandmom Catalde maiden name) and I adored what it represented - a connection to my family, but lets be honest, now one likes to be teased. It wasn’t until high school that I began to love having a different name, and it kind of has become a representation of my journey of accepting myself as I am. I have had to learn to love myself - the trauma I experienced, the self doubt I have created, the struggles I have faced.
My journey… it is mine + I have learned to love it.
Summer + Dreamer is birthed from the same name that kids made fun of - it is my dreamer spirit coming to life. A boutique design studio that started out of my need, but it became my place to heal, create, and spread authentic positivity. I believe that very single one of us are created to create beautiful things - this is my space to do that and I want to help you create yours. My dream is a developing story of healing. Each of us is wonderfully made, created with a beautiful purpose.
I am a Southern California native that became a transplant to Sarasota, Florida. I love all things ocean, sunsets, beach and water. You will always find this Enneagram 7 (w8) dreaming of my next adventure.
Welcome to my little corner of the world. You are here for a purpose. You are here for a reason. Let’s stay connected.
