J.Isabel Designs

An entire decade of my life dedicated to passion, heart, and creativity. I was 24 years old when this dream became a reality. 🥹

Little did that girl know what was ahead of her.

She would face criticism, skepticism, and jealousy. She would push through her parents’ divorce, relationships coming and going, COVID, pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood. She would walk into major boardrooms with her head held high, crush important meetings, and make a name for herself. People would remember her, speak her name in crowded rooms, and share her creativity with people they loved.

She would also doubt herself every step of the way. She would experience incredible highs and painful lows. She would fall into debt and then cash checks larger than she ever imagined possible. Those who misunderstood her could never underestimate her. She built a community. She earned respect. She helped others. She inspired, supported, and made room for those coming after her.

She is me.

The woman now looking back on 10 years. The woman writing this with her little girl asleep on her lap. Exhausted as hell, but proud beyond belief.

I made it.

Whatever comes after this, I know I’ve done one hell of a job. I’ve given the term small business a run for its money. We may be small, but here we stand: the proud owner of a business that has grown from glitter bottles, to gift boxes, to laser engraving, to bar menus, to custom signage, and now UV printing.

All the while with one goal in mind: making life’s special moments unforgettable.

And most importantly of all... THANK YOU. 🥹💛

For being here. For seeing me. For supporting me. For lifting me up. For celebrating my wins and carrying me through my losses. For choosing me. For trusting me. For sharing my name. For being excited alongside me through everything I’ve chosen to share over the last decade.

I will forever be grateful.

Because what is a business without its cheerleaders, its friends, its community?

I almost didn’t make it here. Looking back now, I’m so glad I did.
