I love to create, and I enjoy involving others in that process. The idea of incorporating smells, sounds, sights, tastes and feelings into the everyday hustle gets me up in the morning. I'm a dreamer, a writer, a musician, an inventor and a problem solver. Perhaps the last two go hand in hand. Oh, and I can make one breath-taking cup of coffee.I took this idea that solved a problem in a fun way, and asked friends and strangers alike to fund that idea. I was able to spark enough interest in the targeted audience, but more amazingly in those that have no interest in facial hair, that it allowed me to meet and exceed my funding goal. The small amount of capital from that campaign turned into a fully functioning online shop. Over the last year, I've crafted a small business brand, and have curated that brand's identity through learning all there is to know about branding in today's fast-paced, social culture, and by stumbling upon fantastic people who are experts at what they do. The audience I've built for Beard Sauce started from the proverbial dirt, as I've reached out and planted the notion that life could be a little bit better when it involves my product.Other specialties:- client management- exceptional customer service- shipping, packaging and receiving- networking with small businesses/artisan-minded projects- wholesale- campaign management- fundraising- social media marketing- blogging
