I felt trapped. I craved freedom, flexibility, and financial independence. But most of all, I wanted to do something that actually mattered. Because each day that passed, I felt more and more panicked that I was wasting my life.

Long story short (you can hear the long story on all the podcasts I've been interviewed on over the years below) I started freelancing on the side – building websites for small businesses after work and on weekends. My goal was simple: make enough to replace my day job income so I could be my own boss.

But I did what so many web designers do: I undercharged, overdelivered, and said yes to everything. I calculated that I was making about $4 an hour – less than my first job in high school.

I almost gave up.

But if you know me, you know I don’t quit. I find another way.

I realized I couldn’t keep running my business the way I was taught to work in corporate – worrying about everyone else's money, putting everyone else’s needs ahead of my own, burning myself out, and hoping someday it would all feel worth it.

I had to unlearn everything that kept me stuck:

❌ Saying yes when I meant no
❌ Charging prices that made me resentful
❌ Believing I had to do it all myself to prove my worth

It wasn’t easy. There was discomfort, trial and error, setting boundaries, raising prices, ending client relationships – but with each hard decision, I built a business that actually worked for me.

Three years in, I replaced my six-figure day job income and I’ve almost never looked back. You can check out my Monthly Income Reports on the Profitable Web Designer podcast to hear that story…

Today, I run a business that gives me freedom, flexibility, and a deep sense of purpose. And I teach women web designers how to do the same – on their terms.

Because here’s what I know for sure:

✅ It is possible to create a business that supports your life – not the other way around.
✅ You can design your days, your income, and your impact.
✅ And you’re not here to settle for “good enough” (especially if it’s slowly killing your soul).

Imagine knowing, deep in your bones, that you are your own security – that no one else gets to decide your worth or your future.

Imagine feeling an unshakeable confidence that the value you bring isn’t up for debate – it simply is, and your prices reflect that truth, and you don't even think about settling for less.

Imagine living each day anchored in the freedom of knowing you don't have to prove yourself to anyone, ever. 

That's what I'm really here to help you create, and I'm honored to get to do it every day.
