I define success in a few ways. At its core, it starts with creating work I’m genuinely proud of; work that reflects a client’s vision and makes them feel seen and heard throughout the design process. It’s also about bringing that vision to life in a way that is thoughtful and responsible, while staying on schedule, respecting budget, and building strong relationships along the way. Read More>>

I define success by having repeat, loyal clients that have a worry free vacation or business trip each time. They know from my daily updates with pics/videos that everything is being done that was agreed upon by contract. That is my main goal each sitting.

As I have built  my business the last 5 years, I have genuinely struggled with this question. There have been many times I thought to myself that I’m crazy to keep going forward especially when I’m not seeing the fruits of my labor.

If there is interest, passion, and dedication applied to any thing in life, it will live on. It may take awhile to get going, or to over come a hurdle, but it will press on because of your desire to do so. Read More>>

Music has always been a big passion of mine. When I was thinking about and applying for colleges I initially planned to double major in music and something like bio-chemical engineering because I was always naturally pretty good at math and science. I felt like having more of a stable career would be better than focusing on music. After taking some tours Read More>>

Music permeates almost every culture on earth, with the oldest discovered musical instruments dating back over 40,000 years to the Stone Age. It’s wired into our brains as humans, and music means something deeply personal to each of us. Read More>>
