Laurel Winkel is the owner of SheBuilds, a kitchen design and remodeling firm based in Canby, Oregon, south of Portland. SheBuilds started in 2017 after Laurel decided to go back to school to learn about kitchen design and remodeling. While most males in her family were in the construction industry, Laurel didn’t join them until she changed careers at age 40. Laurel talks about dealing with imposter syndrome, getting out of your own way, and dreaming big for her business.
