it's so lovely to me you...
i'm patricia!
As a mother of two, I know more than anything what it’s like to have your heart in two places at once. One piece is always with your children, while another is with the creative work that lights you up.
From the moment I found out I was expecting my daughter, I felt like I would want to be at home with her. By the time my maternity leave was over, it was official: I was trading my career in human resources for full-time motherhood.
Being at home for my children is the biggest blessing I have been given in this life. The desire to be a creative business owner is a very close second.
Finding the time to be at my sketchbook started out slowly. Drawing during naptime. Scheduling client calls when daddy was home. Waking up early to finish projects in the quiet, peaceful hours of the morning...
Before I knew it, I was a stay-at-home mama and running a creative business at the same time. Because I can’t imagine my life without one or the other.
If we were having coffee together right now (and I wish we were!) you’d probably be saying, “Me too!” .
I'm so glad you're here.
This design studio was made for you. And for bringing your dream of building a thriving business around your love ones to life.
And so, I’d share something else with you. Something I think we should all talk about more often. While building a business and raising my children, I’ve often wondered: Can I really do both? Can I truly be present with my children and help support my family at the same time?
Sweet friend, if you’ve ever asked yourself these questions too, the answer is absolutely yes.
It won’t always be perfect. (I’m typing this with toys scattered at my feet, dishes piled high in the sink, and fingers crossed my little ones nap at the same time today!).
But, you truly have the ability to do anything.
In Grace. Both in the sense of elegant design and in having grace for oneself.
Your brand is the visual and strategic foundation for reaching the clients you’re meant to serve.
An intentional brand strategy and design can uplift your business to a household name, and connect you with dream clients and opportunities along the way.
Your business can fill you up creatively and still allow you to prioritize your family first, always.
In working partnerships where everyone is respected, encouraged, and heard.
Business and motherhood do not have to feel lonely. You are always welcome in this community, no matter what season of life you’re in.
You can have the best of both worlds when it comes to being a successful business owner and caring for your children.
