My Journey
“The greatest treasures are born out of necessity.”
Hey, I’m Jessica.
My journey began in 2016, where I found myself having to start over from nothing and forced to transition into a space of becoming a creative professional. That experience led to mastering the skills of making something out of nothing. As a single mother, I had to walk away from my job with no support system and unable to afford childcare. Those circumstances led me to embark on my entrepreneurial path.
Since then, I've honed my skills in building systems, mastering the use of online software, website development and design, digital product creation, and more.
I’ve also had the pleasure of helping other entrepreneurs like myself pursue accessible avenues to help them achieve their creative projects.
Purpose guided me to where I am today, though I couldn't see it initially. When I thought my world was falling apart, God was reshuffling my life to fall into place.
At one point, my dreams seemed distant because I was so consumed with life’s worries, but God had other plans...
He gave me dreams worth fighting for.
“Delight yourself in the Lord, And He will give you the desires and petitions of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; Trust in Him also and He will do it.” Psalms 37:4-5
