Memories of @BelmondCapJuluca 🥰🏝️🌺

I can’t share my newest commissions just yet, so I hope you don’t mind a little trip down memory lane with this special project from a few seasons ago. With the days growing longer and the warmth slowly returning on the east coast, I can’t help but dream of those endless balmy days down south—filled with color, creativity, and pure bliss. Excited to share more soon, but for now, let’s escape to this little slice of paradise ✨!!

Postcard from Antigua 🇰🇾🏝️🌺!!

My oh my, I can’t even begin to tell you how much I needed this trip. As a Canadian Ukrainian who just got their Green Card to live permanently in the U.S., the start of 2025 has been nothing short of dizzying and anxiety-inducing. But Antigua—its beauty, the laughter shared, the fresh perspective—has been the ultimate reset for my heart and soul 🥹😭.

I’m feeling recharged and ready to keep sharing the gorgeous corners of this world and all the goodness I believe in. If Antigua has been on your radar, stay tuned—I’ve put together a guide with all my favourite spots, and I’ll be sharing it in just a few days. I truly can’t recommend visiting enough! I’d love to know what destinations are on your 2025 Bucketlist?! Let me know below!!

“CAN YOU CUSTOMIZE {x}?” 🎨 • Lately, I’ $“CAN YOU CUSTOMIZE {x}?” 🎨 • Lately, I’ve been receiving a lot of brand inquiries about live event customization—specifically, what types of products I can personalize on the spot. As I combed through my archives to share as references, I thought, why not put together a compilation here?! I’ve always believed that where there’s a will, there’s a way. Just about anything can be customized with a special hand-painted touch 🥰. Many times, I’ve taken on projects without fully knowing the exact mediums I’d use, but I was always confident I’d figure it out. Here’s a selection of items I’ve brought to life over the years: 1. Woven handbags (@Schutz) 2. Denim sneakers & dust bags (@MiuMiu) 3. Leather basketballs (@MarriottBonvoy) 4. Luggage tags (@Cannes_Lions) 5. Brand packaging (@LouisVuitton) 6. Ultra Boost sneakers (@Adidas) 7. Leather handbags (@MichaelKors) 8. Tote bags (@Coterie_Show) 9. Fashion sketches (@NewBottega) 10. Woven hats (@RitzCarltonGrandCayman) 11. Shoe sketches (@LouisVuitton) 12. Notebook covers (@Moleskine) 13. Luggage tags (@RitzCarltonYachtCollection) 14. Figure sketches (@ToryBurch) 15. Makeup cases (@CoverFx) Which one is your fave?! What’s something you’d love to see customized that I haven’t done yet?! Let me know below, and maybe it will happen this year 😉!! All my love, xx MM$

JOY 💐♥️✨ • Your joy is your fortitude.

JOY 💐♥️✨ • Your joy is your fortitude. Your joy is your SUPERPOWER.

I started this ✨Flower Girl✨ fashion illustration series in 2020, during the pandemic, intending to create one for each season. Each piece was titled with a word that captured how I wanted to feel in that moment. But as jobs picked up, I never got around to finishing the 4th & final season, till now.

At long last, Winter JOY has arrived!!

To refresh your memory, here’s the full Flower Girl series:

1. Winter JOY
2. Spring HOPE
3. Summer REBIRTH
4. Fall ABUNDANCE

It only took 4.5 years to finish this LOL but it’s finally done!! Now, I have to know—which Flower Girl is your favorite?! Winter, Spring, Summer, or Fall?! Leave your pick in the comments. And wherever you are, I hope you’re finding little (or big) ways to live in your joy today 🥹!!

All my love, xx MM

My loves!! With London Fashion Week officially upo

My loves!! With London Fashion Week officially upon us, I thought it would be fun (and useful) to compile some of my fave spots from my soul city 🇬🇧✨. After 6 years of back-to-back extended stays in London, I feel like I have some authority on the topic 😆. That made it all the more challenging to reduce this to a 20 photo carousel!!

Full disclosure, a big part of London culture is having access to private members clubs. I wanted to make sure that what I recommended was accessible to anyone and everyone visiting. This list barely scratches the surface, honestly, and I’ll likely have to do another one in the future. These are just a handful of my tried and true spots that I return to.

And since this took nearly two days to create, I so hope it is useful for you!! Share it, save it, and do let me know how I can improve this format for the future. If you are looking for a more robust list of recs, my London City Guide is also available on TravelWriteDraw.com (link in bio). I so hope you enjoy, and as always, leave any questions below!!

All my love, xx MM

Storytime: In honor of the @CalvinKlein Collection

Storytime: In honor of the @CalvinKlein Collection returning to the runway at NYFW, here’s a throwback to one of my most surreal career moments—being commissioned to sketch live backstage at their FW15 show 🥹✍🏼✨.

I’ll never forget opening that email with the “Subject Line: Calvin Klein + Travel Write Draw” from CK Corp 😭. I was barely six months into running TWD full-time at that point. And suddenly there I was, sketchbook in hand, feverishly capturing one of the season’s biggest shows, while Francisco Costa and Anna Wintour meticulously reviewed each final look. The exhilaration of that moment is something I’ll never forget.

Over the past decade, I’ve pivoted more toward the travel industry, but my fashion roots remain so dear to me. I feel incredibly fortunate that the start of my career aligned with the rise of Instagram, paving the way for so many illustrators—myself included—to turn their passion into their profession.

All my love, xx MM

Volume on 🔈!! I might be a little late to the organic audio trend but I’m loving hearing nature sing through creator’s videos these days 🎶✨. The crisp sound of sketchbook paper turning is truly my fave ASMR. And with that, here’s an unfiltered look through my portrait series.

Working my way through the chaos of 2025 ✍🏼✨. Remember to breathe. Remember to take breaks when necessary. And that sometimes, all you need is to experiment with a new medium to feel that spark again 🥰.

I’m often asked about my favorite places I’ve

I’m often asked about my favorite places I’ve traveled to, and honestly, it’s an impossible question to answer. But the more I reflect on it, the more I think about the destinations that profoundly shifted my perspective—on the world and my small but meaningful place in it 🥹🌎✨.

So, in no particular order, here are the Top 5 trips that have shaped my worldview thus far:

1. Egypt 🇪🇬 – Theorizing about the origins of the pyramids is still one of my favorite things to geek out over.

2. Japan 🇯🇵 – The artistry in everything they do, the food, the graciousness and humility of the people, the calm within the chaos.

3. Tanzania 🇹🇿 – Camping in the Serengeti, witnessing the circle of life unfold, the animals taking only what they need.

4. India 🇮🇳 – The kindness, the colors, the intricate craftsmanship, the block prints, the balance of tradition and modernity.

5. Peru 🇵🇪 – The unparalleled generosity, the freshest and greatest food I’ve ever had, the wisdom of the Inca empire, the energy of Cusco and the Sacred Valley.

Honorable mentions to the UAE, Morocco, Turkey, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Laos, and China—I could go on and on! Now, I’d love to hear from you—what are the Top 5 destinations that changed the way YOU see the world? Let me know in the comments below 🤗!!

Friends, I’m SO honored to share with you, my Mc

Friends, I’m SO honored to share with you, my McGill Management Insights podcast episode, recorded with my brilliant alma mater @DesautelsMcGill 👩🏼‍🎓!! If you know me well, then you likely know how surreal it is for me to be recognized by my former Uni 🥹. Truth be told, I always felt like a bit of an outlier pursuing my BComm.

I did not thrive in finance and I certainly didn’t dream of a career in banking 😆. I did, however, fall in love with the international and entrepreneurial essence of McGill Management all those years ago. I didn’t know it then but McGill completely expanded my worldview and molded me into the business owner I am today.

I hope my story stands as a testimony that your journey is uniquely YOURS. Trust your instincts above all else because only YOU know what you are truly capable of!! Lean into your interests. Do not stress if you don’t have all your answers. The universe is ALWAYS working for your greater good, even when the path forward is unclear and winding.

Los Angeles, City of Angels, my heart is shattered

Los Angeles, City of Angels, my heart is shattered watching this horrifying catastrophe unfold from the East Coast. I’ve donated to @PasadenaHumane, who have taken in hundreds of displaced animals, as well as the @CAFireFound, who are helping to support California’s fearless firefighters on the frontline. Every little bit helps. I’m thinking of every single one of you affected by this devastation. You are so very loved and your immeasurable loss is felt by all 😭💗…

Darlings, happy, HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I hope you are a
