Still riding high from this past weekend at @makersarcade! My first market and first time sharing the LUMEN collection in person. It’s a really special collection to me that, quite frankly, helped me survive 2025.
I’m so grateful for all the support, from friends who stopped by to the new connections and conversations throughout the weekend. I loved getting to talk about art, process, mental health, and of course, cats 😻
It really filled my cup to be around so many creative people and connect in person.
A very special thank you to my collectors 🫶🏻 It means so much to know these pieces will live in your homes. Truly a pinch me moment.
If you weren’t able to make it in person, my online shop will be launching next week ✨

Another amazing @makersarcade in the books, the spring fair was bananas fun last weekend! As both the official event photographer and a vendor myself (my pottery account is @jasfitz ), it is such a special treat close to my heart to capture all the magic and fun vibes! The visitors, the vendors, the customers, the bands, the cute kiddos and adorable dogs… just such absolute fun! Shout out to my fellow makers, y’all inspire me so much. The MA team got it out of the park (literally) and I can’t wait for the next fun fair—will I see you at the @sdmademarkets La Mesa Spring Fair in a few weeks?

Our Media Makers showed up in a big way at the recent Makers Arcade! 🎉
Opportunities like this give students hands-on experience with micro-entrepreneurship—stepping into their creativity, developing real-world skills, and bringing their ideas to life.
From concept to creation to connecting with their community, this experience empowered them to see what’s possible when they take ownership of their voice and vision.
Thank you to the Makers Arcade team for an incredible event—we’re already looking forward to the next one!

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
Keep track of Instagram updates discreetly while protecting your privacy and staying anonymous.
View profiles and photos anonymously with ease using the Private Profile Viewer.
This free tool allows you to view Instagram Stories anonymously, ensuring your activity remains hidden from the story uploader.
Anonstories lets users view Instagram stories without alerting the creator.
Works seamlessly on iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and modern browsers like Chrome and Safari.
Prioritizes secure, anonymous browsing without requiring login credentials.
Users can view public stories by simply entering a username—no account needed.
Downloads photos (JPEG) and videos (MP4) with ease.
