oh, hey there

I’m Joyce, the dreamer behind Play + Dwell!

As a mom of three, I know family life can be all too chaotic, funny and sweet, exhausting, and everything in between. There have been seasons where finding myself outside of motherhood was a big challenge. I’m sure you know the feeling!

I’ve always enjoyed creating, and with a background in fine arts, fashion, and wedding planning/design, it’s consistently been my happy place. Coming back to that part of myself sparked Play + Dwell. It’s my way of blending heart + creativity to help families and friends connect over special moments (like unforgettable sleepovers!) that stay long after the tents and blankets are packed away.


Thanks for stopping by. I’m happy you’re here.
