What’s your story?
I graduated from the University of Mississippi in 2013, with a Bachelor of Arts degree and an emphasis in Graphic Design. I landed a job with a local stationery company and began learning how to combine my love for art with my love for printing. I started painting custom pieces that I had the idea of producing on many different products. In 2017, I started an Etsy shop as an avenue to sell my artwork printed on pillows, towels, t-shirts, and stationery. The store was soon flourishing and I needed help producing all of the products.
“The Lord laid it on my heart to hire women in recovery to help me. Women who I could mentor and teach skills that they could take with them in life.”
By 2021, we had grown into a fully operational company, The Olive Press. We have a store front location in Tupelo, Mississippi. Along with our Etsy shop which now has more than 1,000 listings, and we wholesale our products to more than 100 stores across the U.S.
Where do you find inspiration?
Mainly from the Lord. I pray a lot about what God wants me to create. And, of course, I love to keep up to date on trends, color palettes, and new printing processes.
What’s your favorite dessert?
Dark chocolate sea salt caramels
