And for a while, it did. I had early success. Things were growing. From the outside, it probably looked like I had figured something out.
But inside? I was building something I hadn't fully examined. My business had quietly become my identity. My worth was wrapped up in my metrics. And when things slowed down — and they did, significantly — I didn't just feel disappointed. I felt like I was failing at being someone.
That season was hard. But it was also clarifying in a way I didn't expect.
It forced me to ask a question I'd been avoiding: What is this actually for?
The answer I came back to wasn't revenue or recognition. It was simpler than that — and more grounded.
My calling was my family. My work was meant to serve others. And success was never supposed to look the way the world made it seem.
Once I got that order right, everything else shifted. I stopped chasing and started building. Slowly, intentionally, from a much steadier place.
That's the business I have now. And as a Showit website designer, that's the kind of business I want to help you build too.
When I'm not designing, you'll find me in the garden, working on some new home management system that probably involves a spreadsheet, or reading something by Jacques Philippe that makes me think too hard before bed.
I run my business around my family — not the other way around. And I've built my shop to reflect that. Everything I offer is designed to be accessible, excellent, and as uncomplicated as possible — because I know your time is not unlimited.
What I believe about business — and websites
If you're in a hard season right now...
A slow season doesn't mean you built the wrong thing. It might just mean it's time to look up and re-examine what you're building toward.
Your website is one small part of that. But getting it right — making it feel like you, making it work for your business, taking that one thing off your mental plate — can do more for your clarity and confidence than you might expect.
That's what I'm here for.
