Building things.
Growing things.
Caring for things.
I'm endlessly curious and impossibly hard to categorize. I care for animals, grow gardens, design apps, make things by hand, shop with intention, and watch birds — sometimes all in the same week.

Things I Do
Many things, one person.
I've never been good at fitting into one category — and I've stopped trying. Here's what I'm up to.
Gardening
Growing things from seed, with intention.
I grow almost everything from seed and love every stage of the process — from germination to harvest. I can help you plan your garden, choose the right plants for your space, and shop for exactly what you need.
- Seed starting & plant care
- Garden planning & design
- Plant shopping & sourcing
- Seasonal advice
Shopper
Don't enjoy shopping? I do.
I love researching products and finding exactly the right thing — whether it's groceries, home décor, furniture, clothing, or holiday gifts.
- Grocery runs
- Home décor & furniture
- Clothing & accessories
- Holiday & gift shopping
App & Web Design
I design and build things worth using.
Hommie is my take on what real estate should look like — more transparent, more modern, and built around the people actually moving through it. I design and build apps and websites that solve real problems. What should we build next?
Maker
Custom creations, made with care.
Bedazzled shoes, custom tumblers, vinyl decals, shirts, vases, and personalized gifts. If you can imagine it, I'll make it. Shop is a work in progress — follow along on Instagram for a sneak peek.

Ellicott City Birds
Come watch the birds with me.
I film the birds that visit me in Ellicott City. It's quiet, it's peaceful, and honestly — it's one of my favorite things.
Consulting
Strategic thinking, applied.
Years of experience in compliance, risk, operations, process improvement, and UX feedback. I help businesses work better.

Need Help With Something Else?
Don't hesitate to ask.
I have a pretty random skillset — and I might just know how to help. If something's on your mind and you're not sure who to ask, send me a message. The worst I can say is I don't know.
About Me
I don't fit in one box.
Hi, I'm Krysta. I live in Ellicott City, Maryland, and I've spent most of my life finding new joys and learning about thing I'm curious about.
I've worked in finance and compliance. I've designed websites and apps. I've created lots of custom creations, grown flowers, vegetables, and fruits from seed, and have created multiple social media platforms. Every skill I've picked up has quietly informed the next one.
I believe in only doing things I care about — whether that's walking your dog, finding the perfect gift, or designing something new and beautiful. The thing that ties it all together is attention. I pay attention.
“Every skill I've learned helps me with the next one.”
