Hi, I'm Bailey!
I'm an experiential and multimedia storyteller.
My work combines words, images, and tangible materials to create intuitive and collective story experiences.
The stories we tell ourselves shape our realities and the plot lines we live out. My aim is to share unexpected stories encountered in the everyday that help us to see and celebrate ourselves through our connections to each other, the world, and all that is.
In spaces where the mystical and mysterious collides with modern life, I've found that a surprised laugh can open doors that would otherwise stay shut, leaving space for new truth and meaning to walk in behind. For that reason, I'm always drawn to that magic seam that runs just beneath our common human experience.
Stories that choose you.
My oracles, fortunes, and other story objects of good fortune find the ones who they are meant for.
If something is calling to you in this place, it is because it has a story for you - one that connects to your own story and life in some way. Trust that story has chosen you and wants to celebrate you, simply because you are you.

The Gumball Machine of Great Fortune
In the middle of everything, there's a secret for you waiting to be discovered...
Those who interact with The Gumball Machine of Great Fortune turn the dial to receive a tiny one-line fortune story, each from my original writings and chosen for the recipient by The Great Gumball itself.
The Gumball Machine of Great Fortune creates an unexpected, mysterious encounter in the everyday world. The familiar and nostalgic interaction of turning a gumball machine dial is combined with a personal and secret message for the participant to take with them into their day. The machine and its miniature stories invite us to reflect upon the good fortune that is already our own because of our connections to ourselves, to others, and to the world around us.

Of the Mythos
From the place where story is born, a show about the individual and collective mythologies that shape the way we live and the way we see ourselves - perhaps in ways we never expected.
We are, each of us, of the mythos.
