Hi First name / there,Â
Â
I thought it would be nice if I told you a little bit about myself so you could get to know me better!
Â
I live in Toronto, Canada đšđŠ with my two cats, Max and Lola. I'm queer đłïžâđ with she/her pronouns. I'm a tea drinker, yogi and I love travelling. I went to Toronto Metropolitan University and graduated in Arts and Contemporary Studies with a major in Culture and Entertainment. I've always had an interest in pop culture and fashion.
Â
I tried out a lot of jobs in my 20s, including interning at a fashion magazine, and I ultimately decided I wanted to work for myself. I wanted to be my own boss and work my own way, but I didn't know what I wanted to do. So I started off as a professional organizer in 2019 when Marie Kondo and The Home Edit were really popular. It was a big time for professional organizers, and I knew how to organize, so I thought that would be a good way to start working for myself.
Â
Then the pandemic hit and I couldn't go into people's homes to organize anymore. I also wasn't quite sure if it was what I wanted to doâit wasn't quite feeling right. A friend asked me, "Well, what's your favourite part so far?" and I said making my Squarespace website! She said, "Well, why don't you become a Squarespace designer?" And that's what kicked this all off.
Â
I took ilovecreative's Squarespace design course in March 2020 and everything changed for me. I found this amazing community of website designers and Squarespacers. I eventually became a TA for the course, and that's when I realized I love answering people's questions, giving advice, and helping people with the technical side of things.
Â
That helped me realize that I'm good at Squarespace development, but that I also really like sharing my knowledge with others. I've found that the Squarespace community is such a giving communityâwe all love sharing information and making friends. That's one of the best things about what I do: the people I've met đ«
Â
One of the things I was worried about when I wanted to work for myself was not having coworkers. But I've met so many amazing people through this job and this online community. I adore working with people from all around the world and meeting people from different backgrounds and places.
Â
I'm excited to connect with you and share my Squarespace expertise. Whether you need help with your website or just want to chat about the possibilities, I'm here to help!
