Nice to meet you — I’m Jamie.

I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I’m a daughter, a sister, a wife, and a friend. I love writing and music and the way words flow together to create passages and poems that make me feel something inside. I am passionate about long walks, coffee, dinner dates, and the mundane moments that happen everyday with my husband and our cat. I am a lover of aesthetics and on a constant mission to create hygge around me. Hygge is a Danish word that can be defined as “a cozy quality that invokes a sense of contentment and well-being”.

During the day, I am the Brand Manager at Henri Interiors, a MN-based interior design firm, as well as a Co-Founder of Henri Home, a local retail shop and e-commerce platform with a thoughtfully curated selection of pieces for the home and body.

Whether I am hanging at home, traveling to new places, spending time with my closest friends, or working on the Henri Brands, there are some key items that remain consistent — I have a coffee in hand. A cozy blanket nearby. A good playlist on. A candle lit. And everything feels clean, comfy, and, well, simply just right. This is my hygge.

The Hygge Journal is my space to create a cozy spot for authentic conversation. To wrap up some of my favorite moments, things, and ideas and put them in the universe for you to enjoy. From life updates to travel tips, gift guides to wellness routines, this is where I share what I love and what brings me the sense of comfort and the sense of joy that I am always on the search for. My hope is that it creates space for you to find your hygge, too.

My mantra: To create a welcoming atmosphere. To enjoy the good things in life with good people.
