Heidi has been an entrepreneur in the creative/maker space for as long as she can remember. As a child, alongside her creative mother, she began selling her handmade crafts at craft fairs. As an adult, her love of organization and creativity lead her to cake decorating, flower arranging and wedding and event planning. Each creative endeavor taught her valuable skills in running a small business that she took with her and applied to this current business adventure.
