10 Years as an Entrepreneur
10 YEARS. 🥹✨
I’m deep in my feels this week — because it’s officially been 10 years since I became an entrepreneur. TEN. FREAKING. YEARS.
From leaving my agency job and starting my first business out of my studio apartment in NYC, to the long days (and even longer nights) — it’s been a journey.
From signing our first clients to dreaming big. To draining my savings account that first year and wondering if I was really going to be able to make it work.

To moving back to the PNW, booking out our business, launching new offerings and pivoting. To later navigating buyouts, building something new from scratch, and putting myself out there again and again.
There’s been a global pandemic, economic downturns, busy seasons, slow seasons and a thousand plot twists I never saw coming. But somehow, through it all, I made it here.
Over the years, I’ve been featured in publications, spoken on stages, and taught classes. I’ve grown, evolved, and bet on myself more times than I can count.
It’s one thing to do work you love. It’s another to be trusted with people’s visions — year after year, business after business, phase after phase.
This journey has never been lost on me, even a decade in. I’m forever grateful to every client I’ve worked with over the last 10 years.Thanks for being part of the ride and cheers to the next chapter!
