I graduated from the University of North Texas with a degree in Fashion Merchandising and a minor in Marketing – because Lauren Conrad made it look possible, and I believed her. What followed was not exactly a fashion career. (Darn, you LC.) It was three jobs at once, moving back home, living out of half a closet, and learning to get really creative with what I had.

That closet situation is actually where this whole thing started. When you can only keep your favorite pieces and have to make them work every single way possible, you figure out pretty quickly what style actually means. It’s not about having more. It’s about knowing what you love and keeping it for years.

I started blogging in 2016 – first as Miss Profresh, then Mrs Profresh after I married the boy who had a crush on me since second grade. (He was patient. Very patient.) “Profresh” comes from professional + fresh, which was the original mission: helping working women dress with intention without the dull. That mission has grown up since then. So have I.

These days, life looks a little different.

I live in Houston with my husband Jose – together we’re the Sojo’s, and our home is the Sojo Home. It’s where I play with recipes, arrange flowers just because, and set a table like every dinner is worth celebrating. Hosting isn’t something I take lightly. It’s my newly discovered love language. It has kept me busy and healed the broken parts of me as we navigate our journey to baby H.

Speaking of baby H, we are in the middle of one of the hardest and most faith-stretching seasons of our lives: our fertility journey. It started with NaProTechnology, however, we are now in the thick of IVF. It certainly isn’t how I pictured our lives would unfold, but I have learned to accept what is.
