I started out my creative business journey in 1997 as a consultant for a scrapbooking company called Creative Memories. I loved making albums for my family and gathering women to share stories while together we created albums that would become treasures.

In 2008 I opened an Etsy shop selling handmade items and mixed media art. I love mixed media, art journaling, sewing, paper crafting, and trying new mediums & techniques.

What really lights me up is creating alongside others and encouraging creativity in those who feel like they don’t have time or say they aren’t creative. (Spoiler: I believe we’re all creative in some way. I LOVE seeing the spark when someone discovers her creative side and lets her come out to play!)

Over the years I've grown to love the backend of business: the systems and flow that make everything work together.

I love setting up a new website, creating graphics and courses, and connecting all the systems so they function to deliver seamless transactions. I'm constantly in research and learning mode so I can figure out the best way to make things flow smoothly.

In talking with other business owners, I'm realizing that not everyone enjoys that part of being an entrepreneur. A lot of people just want to create their products or offer services and wish the tech things would just magically fall into place.

Because I love systems and flow and others don't, I've decided to create some new offerings specifically to help wholehearted creatives with the backend of online business. I have pages of notes (in my digital planner of course!) and some already in the works. I'm so excited to offer practical help to ease the process for fellow creatives!

Be sure to sign up for my email updates if you’d like to know when new resources are available. I send weekly(ish) emails with encouragement and inspiration in creativity, faith, dreaming big, and taking action.
