We spoke to Jenifer in her self-described “new dream office”.

It has one long black table, with a computer and 2 chairs in the middle. The floor is cherry and I am surrounded by a collection of objects mostly other maker’s work that I have bought or bartered for over the years.

​It's the day-to-day juggle of running a business or what we call multi-tasking. When I first started my business I was doing a little bit of everything, but as it has grown, I have found the solution is to assemble a team of talented individuals who bring different skills to the table and work as a team. That way I can concentrate on developing new designs, colors and opportunities, while still overseeing the day-to-day production.

This is an extremely challenging time for all businesses and individuals. I am thinking of ways to we can adapt and survive. I am doing a lot of yoga, walking and sticking to a regular work schedule. I find if I am busy and moving forward, I am balanced.

​My moments of joy are found in the interactions and relationships I have with people. Last week I received an email from a customers who took the time to write to tell me how much she loved our work and appreciates what we do. That kind of connection is so rewarding. I also enjoy working with other makers on collaborative projects.

​I am grateful for my family and friends and that they are safe and healthy. Face Timing with my family has become a weekly routine. We laugh and share stories old and new. My birthday was last week and my sister and her husband made a hysterical video for me which I play on a daily basis to lift my spirits. I am lucky to have them.
