February Recap: Violet Verse's Evolution
February, you were good to me.
February was one of those months where everything just kind of clicked. I vibe coded, I learned, I won something, and I somehow still had time to binge a Kennedy love story on Hulu. Here's the recap.
Vibe Coded I built out the site for Violet Verse — my creative studio at the intersection of content, AI, and global experiences. We publish, we build, and we take you places. Getting the site live felt like a milestone I'd been putting off for too long, and it feels good to finally have it out in the world.
Read I picked up Radically Human by Paul Daugherty and H. James Wilson. It's all about how new technology is transforming business and shaping our future — which, given everything I'm building right now, felt like required reading.
Downloaded Claude and Snowflake. I've been going deeper into AI tools and data platforms, and both of these have been part of my workflow this month. If you're in tech and haven't explored either yet, you're behind. My brain literally can't!
Watched Love Story on Hulu — the JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette docuseries. I don't know what it is about their story that keeps pulling me in, but I couldn't stop watching.

Won! I placed 2nd at the Miami Hackathon and took home $200. It wasn't about the money but more about the validation that I can actually build things and have good ideas. Shoutout to Eric from the Meet Gail team!
Earned I got certified as an independent travel agent through InteleTravel. This one's been a long time coming. Travel is such a huge part of my life, and now I get to help other people experience the world too. I also built out my travel section of the site. Still working on guides and itineraries for you all!
Attended A La Prairie event here in Miami. The vibes were immaculate, the people were lovely, and I left with a gift bag that made my entire week. I still need to post an update to what their new body cream has done for my skin so far.
On Repeat Olivia Dean — Live at The Jazz Cafe. If you haven't listened to this yet, please do yourself a favor. Her voice, the energy of that room — it's one of those recordings that just makes you feel something.
February, you were good to me.
