Hey! I’m Luisa – the founder, editor, and stylist of Why Don’t You Make Me?. I started this blog back in 2012 right after graduating college and navigating a difficult job hunt. What started as a creative outlet has unexpectedly grown to become the very thing I was looking for. (Super cheesy, I know.)
In 2013, I decided to pursue my dream of being a pastry chef and attended The French Pastry School in Chicago. While I’m no longer working as a pastry chef, my love of baking endures and you’ll find a few baking recipes on the blog. Pastry school also changed my life because I ended up falling in love with the city of Chicago, and moved back in 2016. Now I can’t imagine living anywhere else!
As you might be able to guess from the name of the site, I create a lot of DIY content related to home decor, fashion, and more. I also love sharing interior and design inspiration, recipes, and projects from other bloggers I admire.
A few of my favorite things include breakfast for dinner, binging a television series in one day, sugary cereals, 90s hip-hop, action-comedies, and movie marathons.

And finally, thanks for reading my blog! It means a lot!
