This week, I turn 31. 🥳 And while birthdays are always a good excuse for cake, mine also feels like the perfect time to look back at the ride of small business ownership. Seven years of running Studio West Design Co. have taught me a lot: about myself, about motherhood, about clients, and about building […]
