Emily Katz, founder of Modern Macramé, connects with us about:

• Her upbringing and its influences on her aesthetic and creative process
• How recent KonMari work has helped cultivate intention, gratitude and freedom
• The beautiful melancholy of holding on and letting go to the things and beings we love most
• The gift of reconnecting with her mother after 20 years and the role macrame played
• How the creative process can help us authentically connect to both ourselves and others
• The thoughtful indecision of deciding whether to become a parent
• A fantasy-meets-functionality idea for child-sharing in a culture of nuclear families 
• Why we should ask ourselves if and when a situation is a Fuck Yes!
