I’ve always been more interested in beginnings than outcomes. In the story than final picture, in the process than the result.

In the moments before something becomes what it’s meant to be.

Places have a way of shaping how we think, work, and notice details.

Some cities move fast, others slow you down.

And in between, there’s space to observe to write, to question, to understand.

Work has taken me across different places.

Not as a traveler passing through, but as someone paying attention and creating relationship with new people.

Sitting in cafés, coworking spaces, hotel rooms, and streets that slowly reveal their local rhythm.

I’m drawn to independent brands, creative spaces, and meaningful experiences not for what they’ve become, but for how they started.

For the stories shaped by place, by their people, and the decisions made quietly at the beginning.

JM-Findings is a personal blog that collects those moments.

Stories inspired by travel, design, real stories and the creative journey between cultures.
