How I became an entrepreneur 

I'll never forget the first time I ever considered myself an entrepreneur.

​

Truth be told, I had always been an entrepreneur unbeknownst to me. At age 9, I was making money at the flea market where my parents owned a business. I would walk around the market on busy days with "dancing beans" and charge people $3 to see the "magic." That was the first precise entrepreneur moment I clearly remember.

 

By age 13, I was making money from serving at my parents’ food stand. They would not pay me but told me I would get paid by tips, depending on how nice I was to the clients. That summer, I was averaging $500 in tips every weekend.

 

By age 14, I started a small business operation at the same flea market where my parents had a food stand. About 100 small business owners would set up their booths on Fridays and take them down on Sundays. I started charging some of them $85 to set up and take down the booths and hired my then-boyfriend to help. (LOL) 

​

As a young adult, my first "real"  job consisted of selling cellphones. Then i worked public relations for two dental offices, where i was responsible for bringing in clients. After realizing the office was not paying me enough ($10 per client) when each client averaged them 3-10k, i knew it was time for me to do something independently. So I quit and worked part-time at a print shop while i learned all about the digital world from graphic design, branding, print, websites, and digital marketing. 

​

Through all this, I learned how to handle customer service, negotiate, & make sales. 

Fast forward to 2016, when I first started Calamar Designs after identifying a gap in high-quality, affordable services in my industry. 

 

As the autodidact that I am, I knew I had an eye for design, I had talent, & I had grit. My unique personality and young expertise were critical to Calamar Designs' success.

 

I have helped over 80+ business owners grow and enhance their brands, customer service, user interaction, and communication with their clients.
