What is Previously On?

Anything goes here, but it’s (mostly) a space to dream big, feel deeply, and rewrite the scripts we’ve inherited. This newsletter is for anyone building a life and career they’re proud of—ambitious, ever-evolving, but sometimes held back by doubt or burn out.

It’s a space where you’re allowed to be both greedy and generous, proud and uncertain, adventurous and nervous, where love gets messy, and where creativity thrives in the tension between boredom, joy, and even heartbreak. Connection is the cure and writing is my little remedy.

To my future self and anyone reading this: welcome and enjoy the show <3

Who am I?

I’m Jenn. My days are a blend of:

  • art, philosophy, literature, movies, architecture, food, and nature

  • hopping between big cities and slow countryside escapes

  • cycling for hours just to savor lemon-ricotta gelato

  • and juggling the woes and wins of being a modern woman

I’m driven by curiosity and the belief that small, thoughtful actions create lasting ripple effects. I collect quotes that stir my soul and make my heart swell. And I love days where my skin smells like the sea and every muscle in my body aches from movement.

I studied Community Development at UC Davis before starting my career as a designer in San Francisco, and (more recently) founding a software studio in Melbourne.
