I have a passion for small business, because it is a realm of creativity, freedom, and value-driven work. As a small business owner you can craft the lifestyle of your dreams. The challenges are real, but the opportunities are limitless.
My journey as a small business owner started in 2009. I found my voice from inside a craft show booth. By 2013, I relied on my business as my sole source of income, and hired my first team member that same year. I have featured my work at hundreds of craft shows and trade shows across the country. My jewelry has been sold by major retailers, catalogs, boutiques, pop ups, and online. Along the way, I have moved across state lines five times, bought a house in Seattle, and provided myself with maternity leave. It’s been messy and magical. I’ve cried with overwhelm, and bounced with joy. I celebrate successes, while learning from mistakes. Fifteen years in, I have a wealth of experiences, inspiration, wisdom, and stories to share.
The internet is overflowing with informative articles and content for business owners; but I find that one on one, personalized discussion is often most valuable for advancement. That is what I’m offering you. Whether you have an idea for a business and need help getting started, or you are many years in and looking to better align your business with your values, let’s talk it through and make a plan of action.
