Born and raised in Michigan and after living in Holland, Michigan for nearly a decade, my husband and I were looking for a change. So like any sensible couple, we sold our house, downsized and stored our things, quit our jobs and moved into a 136 square foot RV. Our three month road trip turned into three years of adventure and misadventure throughout the south and western United States. I call it our first retirement, but that isn’t exactly accurate as this business was born at our dinette in our tiny home. Our favorite souvenir from our travels is, hands down, the bonded senior rescue dogs we adopted in Southern Oregon. While flexibility and freedom were amazing, we’ve since joined the “real world” and now call Asheville, North Carolina home. For now. A girl can daydream. Bigger RV next time, for sure. Beyond my work experience, I've also been an adjunct professor teaching sustainable design courses and 3D model making.
