I’m Raquel—wife, mom of four, nonprofit founder, community builder, and lifelong creator. My life is full and layered: kids underfoot, meals shared around a crowded table, events that bring neighbors together, spaces shaped for comfort, and projects built with purpose.
At the heart of everything I do is one belief: the mood enhances the matter.
The matter is the point—the people, the gathering, the moment, the memory. The mood is how we honor it.
Whether I’m designing a room, planning a community event, hosting a meal, or building something from scratch, I’m always thinking about how it will feel. Safe. Warm. Thoughtful. Alive. Like home.
Mood + Matter is where all of that meets—design, events, food, family, and community—woven together in a way that’s real, imperfect, and deeply intentional. This is a space for creativity that serves life, not the other way around.
