I’m a Gen-X creative who grew up alongside the internet, not after it.
I was online when it felt like outer space, long before social media, algorithms, or influencers. Back then, the internet was clunky, strange, and full of possibility. I learned technology as it was being invented, not packaged. I learned how to read people before machines learned how to predict them. In many ways, I became a translator between worlds.
I’m also deeply introverted.
I’ve spent over three decades as a graphic artist and creative professional, and I work as a marketing manager. I’ve always had an entrepreneurial spirit, but not the loud, aggressive kind. I build quietly, observe patterns and I create systems that work behind the scenes. Selling face-to-face was never my strength, but building online? That feels natural. When the work speaks for itself, I show up fully.
I returned to school later in life to put a degree behind work I had already been doing for decades, earning degrees in marketing communications and graphic design. I don’t regret the education, but I was sold a story that didn’t include the cost of survival afterward, including the debt. That wasn’t stupidity. That was trust.
In November 2024, my life shifted dramatically. I survived a serious medical emergency that nearly took my life. Shortly after I went through a divorce in January 2025. I lost stability I thought I had. Recovery took time, patience, and humility. What it also gave me was clarity.
I realized I wasn’t trying to get rich.
I was trying to get stable.
And I wanted to do it without burning out, losing healthcare, or sacrificing my nervous system.
That’s where Seed a Day comes from.
I believe small, steady efforts matter. A dollar a day. A seed planted daily. Not hustle culture. Not overnight success. Just quiet, sustainable progress that compounds over time.
Seed a Day is built for people like me.
Introverts. Creatives. Survivors.
People rebuilding slowly, thoughtfully, and realistically.
Right now, I’m grateful. I have a safe place to live with my mother, a job I enjoy, a boss who sees my value, a dog at my feet, an adult son who thrives and the space to build something meaningful at my own pace. I’m not behind. I’m repositioning.
Seed a Day isn’t about perfection.
It’s about momentum.
It’s about believing that small things, done consistently, still count.
And I’m still here.
