Where It Started1995By the time I was a pre-teen (no I couldn't find a sharable pic of me at that age! lol), I’d discovered Publisher on my dad's computer. Peak design software! — Don't worry, I've upgraded since. 😂Learn more
This One Time, at Band Camp…2003Met my future husband in high school marching band camp (yes, for real). I played flute & piccolo; he played French horn, violin, guitar, and piano. #ShowOff 🤭Learn more
The $6/hr Era2006Got my first in-house design job, getting paid an incredible $6/hour! #IwasRich! 😂Learn more
Meet Lilly2007Lilly joined our family when we adopted our first rescue puppy. She was shy, sweet, and absolutely our best friend for 11 wonderful years!Learn more
Joined the Cowboys2009After moving across the country to Wyoming, I enrolled in the Art Dept. at University of Wyoming. This is Prexy's Pasture in the middle of campus during winter. It was a really cool campus! (Photo credit to Kyle Spradley Photography via Facebook image)Learn more
Back to Georgia2011We moved back to Georgia, and stayed for way too long. 🤭 It never felt like home for us, and we couldn't wait to move again. I got another 9-5 job in the design industry, and continued taking classes at a local state college.Learn more
My Side Hustle2015My 9-5 began to take a toll on me and we were also broke as a joke, so I started freelancing on the side. 🫠 This was my mid-life crisis era! (ie: "is ~$28k/yr all I'll ever make?!")Learn more
Visiting a Biology Class2016My husband collected snakes (as pets) & we had 6 at one time. Twice by request, we took a 3 or 4 of them to our local high school for the kids during a related biology lesson. 😄 (for whoever's curious: we had a ball python, a carpet python, an amazon tree boa, a green tree python, and a red tailed boa + one more I can't remember)Learn more
Studio 18622016Found Squarespace, fell in love with web design, and named my freelance studio after the year our cabin was built.Learn more
Meet Willow2017My husband surprised me with a (freakazoid) runt-sized orange tabby kitten and she's been running the place ever since. 🤭Learn more
Meet Luna2018After Lilly passed away, we rescued another puppy to help us heal our grief. Our hound doghter was exactly what we needed! We treated her like the queen she was. 🤭Learn more
The Best Worst Year2020My sister & I did a roadtrip to Baltimore for her audition on The Voice; we had SO much fun! Then Covid hit the nation, I got furloughed that summer, and my father-in-law died in a tragic accident that had our whole family reeling. By that fall my give-a-fucks were low & I'd accidentally rebranded my business to Launch the Damn Thing®, my husband had quit his high-stress/low-paying job, and we decided to start (remotely) house-hunting in New England to start fresh somewhere new! 🥴Learn more
Hello, Vermont!2021Time to start over again! We bought a house, and moved across the country for the third time, with Luna & Willow. Fewer people, more trees, 4 distinct seasons (6 if you ask locals), and MAXimum introvert happiness. 🤩 We still feel SO lucky to live here!Learn more
Plot-Twist!2022Paige Brunton asked me to start doing her student Q&A monthly co-coaching calls with her. I tried to play it cool. #fangirl 🤩 We've been doing them together every month since!Learn more
Made It Official2023I launched the Club (community) for web designers and trademarked Launch the Damn Thing®. Yes, the "damn" is legally protected now. 😉Learn more
Circle Day in NYC2024Braved my 2 least favorite things (big cities & crowds) to attend their annual event, Circle Day, at Squarespace HQ in NYC. I got to meet SO many of my favorite people in person, including my longtime friend Krishna, of Krishna Solanki Designs! 🥳Learn more
Meet Rowan2026We welcomed yet another rescue puppy to the family after losing Luna to cancer this summer. Helping another puppy find a furever home is the best way to heal from the unexpected loss of a furbaby.Learn more
