I came from a Fortune 10 company (working with multi-million-dollar businesses on the regular) and now run a six-figure invitation design and education firm. I've educated tens of thousands of creative entrepreneurs worldwide on how to run successful businesses in many fields, with a focus on wedding industry creatives. My goal is to overturn the "starving artist" trope and show everyone who's ever asked "But what do you do *for money*?" just how successful a creative business can be!
