Her attention to detail bleeds into every part of her business, from the editing process to her social media presence. Though her Instagram feed may appear effortless, she tells us, “I dedicate a lot of time to having a visually pleasant Instagram.” Coming from a graphic design background, she prioritizes images with simple lines and a clean backgrounds in the photographs she chooses to share. 

The time and care are evident, and we’re not surprised: With Monika, every decision is an intentional one.
