That opportunity came from my friend Lisa. She had just moved into a new home with her husband and three little kids, and she asked me to renovate her master bathroom. I was so grateful she trusted me.
We spent hours together—talking about her style, looking at tiles, picking fixtures, mixing colors. She shared her ideas, I shared mine, and we built the design together. It wasn’t always easy (projects rarely are!), but in the end her bathroom turned out beautiful. Seeing her happy with the results was the best part.
Looking back, that bathroom wasn’t just a project—it was the start of everything. It showed me that I could handle the challenges, create something beautiful, and trust my own skills. That confidence has stayed with me on every project since.
