I’m Hallie — /ˈhæli/ if you’re fancy, hal-ee if you’re normal. Not Hayley, not Holly, just Hallie, like a fun-size hallway. I spent most of elementary school correcting teachers on my name, so now I take my pronunciation very personally.

When I’m off the clock, I’m usually climbing (rock when I can, plastic when I can’t), walking with coffee in hand, taking trapeze classes, or photographing whatever feels interesting in the moment. I also take ballroom dancing very seriously because I fully intend to be on Dancing with the Stars one day.

When inspiration runs low, I fall down Pinterest rabbit holes or reset with a good playlist (musicals, americana, indie on repeat).
