Seeing a gap in the market for women’s gear and apparel in motorcycling, I opted to branch out and create my own business filing this niche. Every aspect of the business and it’s design demands are serviced by me. Website building and management, all graphic design work, all photography, all social media management and advertising, all apparel designs, vendor sourcing and relations, order fulfillment and running the books. Running this business has taught me countless lessons and offered me a creative outlet as I pursue a career deeper into marketing and sales.
