My Story…

I’ve always had a creative eye, from the time I was a child. As a little girl, I remember sitting at my parent’s office, being bored out of my mind, and using anything I could find from office supplies to used cardboard boxes, to create my own little works of art.

As the years went by I took up painting, knitting, crocheting, weaving, and pottery, until finally, I found a true passion of mine. Creating jewelry. I became so in love with the craft that I would make jewelry in all my free time. It got to the point where I was creating so much that my family encouraged me to start selling it! So at age 11, I was my own entrepreneur, telling anyone and everyone I knew about the jewelry I was creating, selling necklaces and earrings just by wearing them out, handing out business cards, and setting up tables at craft shows. As the years went on and I had less time, my passion for jewelry-making died out. But I’ll always have the lessons I learned, the descipline I developed to persevere at a young age, and some of my favorite pieces I created to show for it.

When it came time for college, I knew I wanted to major in something that would allow me to channel my creativity, and although I loved clothing and style, I knew the fashion industry wasn’t for me. So I entered from a business perspective and decided to major in marketing. Fast forward 4 years, through college and a few internships, I ended up with a BA in Art History and no idea what I was going to do with it.

Around my 3rd year of college, I started my blog. On a very cold winter day in February, I put an outfit on, got my digital camera out, and my mom and I went to a park nearby to freeze our butts off for 10 minutes taking pics. I was so afraid to post them to my blog and social media, but a close friend of mine encouraged me to and I have never looked back. My blog was a way for me to channel some creativity and feel productive in my own way at the time. When people would ask me what I wanted to do after college, or where I wanted to work, I remember not being sure, but having a gut feeling that this blog was going to lead me to exactly where I wanted to be.

Sure enough, it was teaching me lessons and skills I didn’t even know I would need, in order to guide me to my dream job and become an entrepreneur. Through my blog, I learned about photography, social media, marketing, writing, styling, client relationships, and website design.

Being active on Instagram, I began to see a gap in the market for small businesses in need of help in handling their social presence. With the experience and knowledge, I gathered through my blog, along with my various jobs and internships throughout college, I took the leap of faith to begin serving and helping other businesses.

And even though my path was never as straightforward as I would have thought it would be, I’m so grateful for where it has led me.
