I want to take a moment to recognize and thank some incredible friends who have supported my small business journey. As a small business owner, I truly believe in building each other up, supporting local talent, and helping spread the word about people who do amazing work. I’m so thankful for the creativity, encouragement, and professionalism these businesses have brought to my brand.
First, I want to give a huge shoutout to my best friend, James Fuqua. James is an incredibly talented graphic designer and artist who has helped bring so many of my ideas to life. He designed my logo, helped set up my QR code information, and created beautiful custom table décor for my vendor events. Even my table banner — which I’ll be sharing photos of soon — turned out absolutely amazing.
In addition to graphic design and branding, he also creates custom stickers, decals, and marketing materials for businesses. His artistic talent goes far beyond business design as well — he created a beautiful portrait of my grandparents and is currently working on a portrait of Sadie that I already know will be special.
If you’re looking for someone creative, professional, and passionate about helping businesses grow, I highly encourage you to check out his work and support his businesses:

I also want to recognize Faustine Glass for her amazing work and support. She creates beautiful custom print items on just about anything you can imagine. Last year, she made custom koozies for our dinner club Christmas gifts, and they were such a thoughtful and adorable hit with everyone.
She also printed my logo onto my vendor show smock, and the quality and attention to detail were incredible. On top of that, she knows how much I love pickleball and surprised me with an early birthday gift — a custom shirt she made just for me! It was so thoughtful and meant so much. Her creativity, kindness, and talent truly deserve recognition, and I can’t wait to share her business page once it launches.
Supporting small businesses means so much because every share, recommendation, and order truly makes a difference. If you or someone you know is looking for graphic design, branding, decals, custom printing, promotional products, or creative business support, please take a moment to check them out and support these talented creators.
