I grew up in a home where my parents started their own business, putting in the hard work and long hours to make my childhood one to remember. They established their company in multiple cities, including Los Angeles, and continued to thrive for over 25 years. While my parents proved that a college education wasn't necessary to succeed in life, my Grandparents and Uncle made furthering my education sound so pristine and useful. So that's what I did. I went to college. My educational background and work experience include: Advertising, Graphic Design, International Business, and Business Consulting with a main emphasis on Marketing Strategies. When I’m not using my degree, my hobbies include: volleyball, drawing with my son, interior design, creating and crafting with my hands; from cooking to sewing, to reupholstering furniture and painting. I'm truly blessed.

In 2007, I started a business consultancy and design agency, called Tenleaf Studios. While I tinkered with the idea of it becoming my grand, New York loft, "successful-business-woman" gig, I put everything on hold to gain experience in marketing for other companies and entrepreneurs.  It wasn't until four years later that I would go out on my own, 100%. Today, Tenleaf remains a huge passion of mine because it is, and forever will be, my baby.  However, once I got my feet wet and thoroughly explored this amazing entrepreneurial world, I quickly realized there were so many other ways of sharing my gifts and there was so much more I wanted to offer, specifically to women who were stuck in that same old boat.

The summer of 2012 I started to organize everything in my life, from A to Z. This definitely had something to do with the nesting period I was going through, as I was expecting my first child in November of that same year. Not only was organizing on my brain, but every act and good deed of a 1950′s housewife excited me. I was (and still am) constantly on the hunt for new recipes - I love cooking, I want everything in the house clean and organized (computer files and car included), and I love the smile on the faces of my family when they walk into a beautifully organized and well designed home.  Don’t get me wrong; there is still a huge difference between myself and a mid-century housewife.  I do much more than just play house. However, there is something about a simplistic, domesticated life that leaves me feeling satisfied and grounded.

Rather than keeping my work and love of hobby’s separate, I realized by combining my background and a few of my favorite things together, life could become much more exciting and entertaining while earning an income. *Zing! Zip! Zest!* Lemon Lines was born. Lemon Lines has now become the place where I get to share my passions and creativity within the home and in business. What’s the best part you ask? I get to help others, pass on incredibly handy tips and tricks, and boost businesses; all while letting you know what works and what may need more work.

I'm so grateful that you are here and allowing me to be a part of your journey.  I cannot wait to see what's in store for you! I promise to bring in some fun surprises along the way (and apologize in advance for slipping hints as to what those surprises may be)!
