Hello Friends,

Last Thursday marked the end of a chapter for me. It was my last day as Senior Implementation Specialist with Mydoma, a position I would have held for four years on January 31.

This past 18 months, I’ve been quietly building the second arm of my business ; showing up to support designers through my Bring Calm to Chaos program and Virtual Admin Support hours. Leaving Mydoma was not a decision I took lightly, but it was one I worked toward intentionally.

I’m in a chapter of life where I’m a part-time empty nester with both kids away at university. I wanted autonomy over my days and work that is deeply fulfilling. I firmly believe that all of my skills and experiences — spanning over three decades — have prepared me to show up fully for the designers I work with. I also truly believe God allows us to meld all our experiences and skills to create a career where we can serve, support, and provide real value.

I’m so excited about this next chapter and showing up for you.

Now, let’s dive in! 🚀
