How I got here.

After several failed attempts at both professional and entrepreneurial success, I realized someone else’s vision had altered the picture I was painting. I’m fueled by a multitude of passions that make it hard to operate within the confines of a traditional workplace. Even as an entrepreneur, I often adjusted my creative approach to fit a common blueprint drafted by YouTube “coaches.” Basically, I tried to accomplish my goals by being someone else. I have a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), so my mind doesn’t process information in a conventional way, which left me feeling isolated and misunderstood. However, once I embraced my unique combination of brain waves, I began to see my way of thinking as an advantage, not a burden. 

Although my bakery delivery service wasn’t actually failing, I was no longer enamored with my cozy start-up. The pressure to constantly create delicious seasonal flavors while staying within the parameters of the Food Cottage regulations proved too much. What was once a joyful hobby became an overwhelming liability. So I gracefully let it go.

When one door closes.

During my stint as a bakery maven, I received several inquiries about my web design and branding. It was obvious—not only to me but to the observers —that I had a keen eye for design. Since then, I’ve been asked to design websites and graphics for bloggers and small business owners; create marketing materials for local organizations; help my church family build their social media presence; and mentor others as they define what success looks like for them.

This Brings Me Back To YOU!

No matter your business-life journey, your gifted approach will define your success. My goal is to share my story in hopes that it inspires you to do the same. The format is simple: I publish blog content, including recipes, how-tos, and tips, plus uplifting posts to keep you encouraged. I still offer visual design services, so if/when you are ready to show the world what you’re working with, I can help you make your mark.

If any of this sounds good to you, take a moment (if you haven’t already) to subscribe to stay up-to-date.

I look forward to building with you!
