As entrepreneurs and creators, we often move so fast that we forget the most important element of any space—whether it’s a physical home or a digital website: the human experience. When we design purely for efficiency or profit, we create spaces that feel cold and impersonal. But when we slow down and design with intention, focusing on how people will feel when they enter those spaces, we create connections that last. This simple shift changes everything—how people engage, how they remember us, and ultimately, how our businesses grow.

In 2022, I sold everything and became a digital nomad. My first stop was Turkey.

Sometimes you’ve just got to get out of your element. Or back into one that you used to inhabit to remind yourself how far you’ve come. I grew up in Michigan, on the east side of the state. I had long planned to visit the Sleeping Bear Dunes and The Grand Hotel but never really made time for it. The visits proved to be both surprising and unsurprising, charmingly authentic and touristy-fake. At times I found myself taking long, slow exhales. Breathing in the cool, crisp forest air. At other times, this world felt foreign and scary and like I was stepping into the past (not in a good way). I found a lot of things that provided inspiration, as well as introspection. I think that’s what travel is meant to do! Here’s a look at what I did, where I went and what I thought.
