about

hi!

I am so happy you’re here. My name is Riley and I am the responsible for the corporate burn-out fever dream that turned into the BKWNDS.

BKWKNDS is a labor of love - and my goal is to create goodies to remind you that any day can feel like the weekend if you try hard enough. 

NGL, It took me a minute to press play on this. I am the daughter of two incredibly talented creatives but I didn’t see myself as an artist and I was convinced that I didn’t have the authority to co-op that title. 

But then I remembered that no one really has the authority to do… literally….anything. So why not try, right?

Everything on this site is created in my Brooklyn apartment, most likely on a weekend. 

a bit more about me.

I share a cozy apartment with my handsome devil of a dog and the absolute love of my life. I have friends I would kill for and a family I’m obsessed with.

Working with my hands keeps me curious and trying new things keeps me humble. 

Within your friend group, I’m probably the one who is most likely to build the hype, rally the gang, make the plans, and then show up late. 

M-F I work at a job I’m insanely passionate about but passion can be a fickle beast. So I am trying to be a bit more balanced. A little less type A, maybe a little more vulnerable, and definitely a lot more appreciative of any person place or thing that helps to make each day feel more and more like a Brooklyn weekend. Because they are the absolute. Fucking. Best. 

I’m so excited to see where this goes and I’m so happy you’re here.

Let’s boogie.
