I'm Heather, an artist and educator based in Woodland Hills, California. I've spent my career teaching, working in general and special education, researching social-emotional learning, and studying how creativity supports mental health, resilience, and meaning-making. I also hold a BA in psychology with a minor in art history, an MA in special education, and a certificate in Social Emotional Arts through the Arts and Healing Initiative. All of that lives quietly behind everything Soulfill makes.

​

Soulfill grew from the belief that art is not just decoration or enrichment. It's part of a healthy, meaningful life. Research increasingly points to active art-making as deeply connected to wellbeing, learning, empathy, and psychological resilience. Just like we prioritize nutrition, sleep, and movement, we should prioritize making things.

​

I create handmade goods pieces and thoughtful, creative resources meant to bring a little warmth and beauty into everyday life. A favorite mug, a small charm, a gentle prompt: small things that brighten a moment and invite us to be more present.

​

My hope is that Soulfill offers small moments of comfort and inspiration, and gently reminds you to do what fills your soul.
