Your design business and family can thrive together
Hey! I'm Olivia—a mama of three little dudes and founder of a purpose-driven design studio. And yes, I'm proof that you can build something meaningful while still being there for all the important (and chaotic) moments.
When motherhood flipped my tech career upside down, I knew I needed more than just a different job. Following God's lead, I built a studio that creates impactful design for nonprofits and purpose-driven orgs—all between homeschool lessons, endless rounds of tag, and "just one more story" at bedtime.
Now? I share the real, behind-the-scenes journey of building a business with eternal impact. Because whether you're drafting proposals during nap time or scaling your creative studio while teaching phonics, you shouldn't have to choose between doing work that matters and being present for the moments that matter most.
Your Dream Design Business vs Reality Check
You started with a vision: using your talents and skills to serve others while being present for your family. But now you're:
Doubting your systems because everyone on Threads is raving about their tech stack
Emailing clients during 3am feedings (let’s goooo auto-schedule)
Torn between scaling up your team and letting go of control
Running both business and household solo while your partner works around the clock
Trust me, I get it—teaching between calls, working out during naptime (hopefully), leading my team from the kitchen counter. That's why I'm sharing every lesson learned. Because building a confident, aligned business? You don't have to do it alone.
