How did Sheic Space come about?

For the last 7 years, I have helped other small business owners with support in areas such as contact management, client follow-up, on-line registration, desktop publishing, e-zine development and web site design/maintenance just to name a few. I truly understand the importance of building relationships with clients to help them further their business.

Before I started my own business, I worked in the corporate world at various jobs. One job I had was working in the trauma department at a university hospital. The office was on the ground floor but the windows in the building were high up so you couldn’t see out of them and the office was broken in to dark cubicles. Not only was the work I did depressing, hearing of all the trauma stories, but the office surroundings played in to this feeling of hopelessness.

I ended up quitting that job and vowed that I would never work in that type of office space again. Jump ahead a few years to my business, I always made sure that my office was a fun, expressive place to be. I would surround myself with things I love but I did find myself being drawn to that typical cubicle type of office furniture. Also, because I worked virtually never meeting with my clients in-person, I found myself isolated. Even though I didn’t work in a dungeon environment, it certainly felt that way being so isolated.

One day I was sitting at my desk feeling grateful that I no longer had to work in a cubicle or a dark and dungeon like office but yet wanting to connect with other business owners. It got me to thinking, “I wonder what other women do to decorate their office and make the space their own?”

The next step in my journey has been my incredible fascination with entrepreneurship especially when it comes to women owned businesses. Combining this with my love of decorating and journalism and Sheic Space was born. I get to meet some of the most amazing women business owners and I get to see how they decorate their space.

My desire is that you will find inspiration as you review the profiles of these powerful women who stepped out to explore their own passion and decided to be Sheic along the way!
