What I Actually Love Seeing on Instagram
Four Creators That Spark Joy
Oh, Instagram. What a complicated little corner of the internet. As the founder of a brand that thrives on creativity, it's my favorite tool—most of the time. But as an everyday user? The relationship is… well, fraught. I avoid mindless scrolling (or try to), but since I need to post and connect with our community (which I genuinely love), I inevitably end up consuming content.
Much of the time, it's just meh. But occasionally, I stumble upon creators who completely light me up—creators whose content I totally adore. Who inspire, excite, and bring me a little extra joy. These are the accounts that feel like treasures in the sea of sameness. Here are four of my absolute favorites right now:
First up:
I stumbled upon this account a few months ago, and I've been obsessed ever since. Every post feels like a delightful surprise—it's cool, creative, and different. Right now, I'm in my "arts and crafts" era (though calling her work "arts and crafts" feels like a gross understatement), and her content is hitting all the right notes. Her posts aren't frequent, but when they drop, they're meticulously crafted and full of little details I love picking apart. I'm grateful to the algorithm for serving up her content. * I'm manifesting a collaboration in 2025.*
Are you over the endless stream of "quiet luxury" minimalist fashion content? Same. Don't get me wrong—I love dressing in clean, simple silhouettes most of the time, but let's be honest: it's not rocket science. When I'm consuming fashion content, I want it to feel bold, original, and inspiring. Enter Yulia Fomenko. Her bio reads: "I mix vintage with current fashion to create styling magic." And her looks are just that, magical. Every outfit she crafts is utterly unique, a work of art, and the vintage pieces she finds? Chef's kiss. She posts regularly, and her videos always feel like a decadent treat.
Okay, disclaimer: Gianfranco is one of our artists, but even if he weren't, he'd still be on this list. Following his account is like stepping into a dreamy, sunlit world where everything is beautiful and intentional.
Gianfranco was a professional photographer before pivoting to ceramics, and you can tell. His content is stunning, whether he's capturing his studio (flooded with natural light), male models, or snapshots of life in Brazil. Every post makes me want to move into his world (you must see his IG stories). I am also manifesting an IRL studio visit in 2025 - Gianfranco, I am coming for you.

I am not a reality TV person—I don't watch Bravo or HGTV—but I imagine how people feel about The Real Housewives is how I feel about this account. I'm invested. From their move from Nova Scotia to Montreal to their DIY home renovations to Kit's candid conversations about mental health, I follow it all. But what hooked me in the beginning was their style. It's effortless, entirely their own, and so beautifully authentic (a theme amongst all these creators). Plus, they do everything themselves, which blows my mind.
And there you have it: four of my favorite Instagram follows. I'll probably turn this into a series, but only when I stumble across accounts that truly light me up like these do.
Who are your favorite follows right now? I'd love to know—maybe you'll introduce me to my next obsession.
