HI! I’m Keira, a South Carolinian enjoying life with my boyfriend Mr. Heid and our pup Keiko in the Upstate. By day, I plan arts and cultural events for a small city. By night, I relish in gathering people together, dining on new foods and beverages, and making our house a home. Which brings me to Gather Savor Dwell.

Gather + Savor + Dwell — Each of these invokes a sense of space in which we can honor and create memories. A place where we can cultivate and curate experiences with intention. I’ve created GSD to share how I practice those notions — of course there will be plenty of random musings and creative projects along the way.

GATHER | I love bringing people together and connecting with them in real life. Don't get me wrong — social platforms, texting, and email are useful tools for updates when life gets busy or keeps us apart. But gathering in person helps us recognize the value in being present in the moments that we do have together reminds us to make time for these moments often.

SAVOR | One of my favorite parts of going somewhere new is dining local. There's a thrill in tasting something that you may never get the chance to try again or discovering a new flavor that you enjoy. Of course, there’s always comfort in tried and true favorites.

DWELL | Mr. Heid and I bought our first house in December 2017. The thought of making this house reflect both of us in a cohesive way is so exciting (and daunting). We want Vesper House to be an inviting space that reflects our personalities — purchasing and placing items because of what they say about us and how useful they’ll be for entertaining guests. Making a space your own definitely takes more time (and money) than we ever realized, but we’re learning to celebrate the tiniest moments of progress.

Graphic Design

I believe clean and simple design is best to portray your message. Take a look at a few of my favorite design projects.

Events

Here’s a glimpse of some of my favorite events that I’ve planned — a blues and jazz festival, a fine art meets high fashion show, a barbecue cook-off festival, an outdoor summer concert series, pictures with Santa in a rustic cabin setting, and educational conventions for chefs.
