I’m Zinzi—here I am blending in near my house in Maine.

I am interested in the way people live—and especially when they do it with creativity at the center. In one way or another, I’ve been thinking about this idea both personally and professionally for a very long time! I’m really happy you’ve joined me here in this space.

I am a writer, editor, and creative director, who also sells children’s vintage clothing. Some people know me from my former band or the magazine that I used to run.

Treehouse is a free weekly newsletter and paid monthly print zine, exploring themes of home using art, essays, photography, interviews, projects—everything and anything!

Acknowledgement // I would be dense with regret if I didn’t take a moment here to acknowledge the privilege of “home”: its implied comfort and the existence of an actual dwelling. The category can be amorphous (home is body, community, literal living structure, family/room mates, city, country, landmass, et al.), and for many it may also not be a safe place. So: an acknowledgement of home’s complexity and sensitivity seems necessary here.

Additionally, I’d like to acknowledge the larger territory my own home and work occupies in Knox County, Maine: the traditional (and current!) location of the Wabanaki nation. Truly a privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to occupy this astoundingly beautiful place each day.

OK THEN. I’m so glad you came—I’ve got a place set for you, so let’s dig in. 🤝
