I was born in Michigan and spent most of my young adult life in the Midwest, living in states such as Wisconsin and Minnesota. After getting married, I relocated to the South, residing in Arkansas and Oklahoma, where I owned and operated multiple restaurants over a span of 16 years.

Becoming a mother shifted my priorities, and I made the decision to step away from the restaurant industry to focus on raising my children. In 2018, my family and I moved to the Dallas–Fort Worth area of Texas. During this transition, I took the opportunity to reconnect with my creative passions, particularly in art and design. This led to the launch of a small business, initially selling products on platforms like Etsy, and eventually through my own website.

As a self-taught entrepreneur, I’ve built my knowledge through hands-on experience and perseverance. Over the past five years, I have expanded my focus to creating designs for other small businesses—something I’ve truly come to enjoy. To further develop my skills and pursue professional growth, I recently returned to school and am currently in my first year of studying graphic arts and digital design. I am excited to continue learning and to take the next steps in my creative and professional journey.
