Hi! I’m Maizie, I’m an illustrator and designer and I’ve been self-employed since 2018 but my entrepreneurial story does not start there.

I started my first business when I was only in elementary school - at the encouragement of my sweet mom and some seed money - I started a small snack bar that I set up at my brothers' sporting events, I loved all of it, fast forward a couple of years to the last semester of high school - I was already accepted into college and spent the weeks leading into summer making jewelry and selling it to classmates. Again, I loved creating and selling. Once I started college as an art major the next fall, the jewelry business fell by the wayside but the idea of working for myself didn't ever really leave me - so that brings us to today - I'm a small business owner and illustrator. I love working and brainstorming with fellow small business owners and I hope that is what this podcast can be, too. A place for small business collaboration and entrepreneur encouragement.
