I created Nest Out West as a means for collecting the memories of the renovations my husband and I were doing in our first home together. After being featured in national digital and print publications, as well as on a large assortment of top industry social media accounts and blogs such as Apartment Therapy, Domino Magazine, Safavieh, Pottery Barn, Overstock, and many more, the brand quickly snowballed into what it is today: an interior decorating and e-styling business, a product photography and social influencing platform, a formal and micro-blog, and a home studio where photographers can capture well-lit, styled photos for clients and brands.As the founder of Nest Out West, a wife, and a mother of two small children, I wear many hats. Being self-employed means that if you fail to execute your end of each contract you enter into, you fail to earn a paycheck. With an entrepreneurial mindset, I strive to perform every task to the highest of standards so that my clients love their homes, brands are thrilled with the content I create for them, and photographers want to keep coming back to capture shots of their products and clients here at our home. "Good enough" is never good enough.
