Hello! I’m Saadia, creator of Carnation + Motia. I’m a young twenty-something living in a big city after being raised in rural Eastern United States.

As you can imagine, it’s been quite a culture shock. Being in a city exasperated that by removing the root of all my happiness: nature. So, I set out to find nature whenever—and wherever—for my well being. And, to document it.

I made Carnation + Motia as a way for me to record and share my ideas. It’s to remind myself (and perhaps help others) to be mindful of the world around us in a time when productivity is valued more than, well, living.

So, here we are!

Thanks for joining me on this journey!
