hai. essentials: finding inspiration in nature with paige
this week, we're spending the day with paige tiziani, a california native, professional model, and pack dog walker whose days are rooted in movement, nature, and creativity. when she's not hiking trails with a pack of dogs, you'll likely find her photographing the world around her, tending to her garden, riding motorcycles, or working in front of the camera. whether she's outdoors for work or wandering on her own, paige finds inspiration in slowing down, paying attention, and appreciating the beauty that's always been there.
here's what never leaves her side.
paige's essentials:
hai. papaya sunrise vape
bright, tropical, and uplifting, the papaya sunrise solventless live rosin vape is paige's go-to companion for long walks through the woods, creative afternoons, and moments when she wants to stay present while exploring the outdoors.
keys with a custom mojo jojo keychain + taser
whether she's heading out with a pack of dogs or exploring on her own, paige always keeps her keys close by. attached is a custom keychain inspired by her dog, mojo jojo, along with a taser she carries for extra peace of mind wherever the day takes her.
custom-painted change pouch
painted by paige's fiance, this one-of-a-kind pouch carries all the little necessities—mini perfumes, cash, loose change, and everyday odds and ends. it's practical, personal, and completely unique.
custom-painted wallet
another custom piece featuring artwork of mister mojo, her wallet is a reminder of the people and pets she loves most. functional enough for everyday use, but special enough to make her smile every time she reaches for it.
beaded cannabis leaf purse
bringing everything together is a hand-beaded leaf purse that perfectly reflects paige's connection to the plant. playful, artistic, and roomy enough to carry everything she needs throughout a day spent outdoors.
getting to know paige
what does your creative process usually look like from start to finish?
being in or around nature really sparks my creative process. i love simply taking photos of the things i see while i'm outdoors.
do you have any habits or rituals that help you get into a creative mindset?
sparking up is definitely my go-to ritual for getting into a fun, creative mindset. it really makes you sit back, slow down, and actually notice things.
what's one little ritual that makes your workday better?
well, i own my business, and i get to be around dogs every day in nature. something that makes that even better is that i get to bring my little guy, mojo jojo, with me every single day.
do you have a favorite coffee, snack, playlist, or podcast while you work?
i love matcha—lavender or banana have been my favorites lately. i also love listening to true crime podcasts while i'm cooking dinner. sword and scale is my absolute favorite.
what hobbies or interests inspire you?
spending time in my garden, birdwatching, photography, working out, motorcycles, animals, plants, the weather, and beauty are just a few of my special interests. i get so much inspiration from mother earth.
if you weren't doing your current job, what do you think you'd be doing instead?
probably still something to do with plants or animals. i've worked and been around animals all my life, so they really are my true passion.
what's one tool or piece of equipment you couldn't live without?
i honestly love my noise-canceling headphones and earplugs. major misophonia over here.
embrace your own essentials
whether she's leading a pack of dogs through the woods, stepping onto a photoshoot, or finding inspiration on a quiet trail, paige reminds us that creativity often comes from simply paying attention. sometimes the best essentials aren't the biggest or most expensive—they're the things that help you stay connected to yourself and the world around you.
