Big Bang Beginning

Hello Everyone!

As you may (or may not) have noticed, I’ve been promoting my start-up, DAHLO, like crazy!

Why? Because I’m building the foundation for a new future—for myself and my family.

It’s terrifying, but I believe I can do it. I trust in who I am, my ability to work hard, my high standards in everything I create, and my deep well of perseverance.

Also… this has been a dream of mine for decades.

I finally decided to take a big leap into the unknown—full of fear, but also full of hope, faith, and most importantly, belief in myself.

Years ago, I achieved goals I once felt impossible.

Somehow, I pulled it off.

Now, I’m aiming to do something just as meaningful—maybe even more:
To build a future that allows all of me to shine: The artist. The leader. The musician. The strategist. The corporate professional. The human. The traveler.

Let’s be honest—the corporate world can be ageist and full of gaslighting. What a shame.
But my vision has the potential to create opportunities for others—and maybe even bring me back to one of my deepest passions: Art Direction.

I read once: “You’re not an imposter if you’re new.”

The world I’m entering now is new to me in many ways. I’ve always supported others’ visions and product development goals.

This time, I’m doing it for myself.

I started imperfectly—learning as I go, educating myself, and continuing to work hard to make this vision real.

Thank you for putting up with my (possibly obnoxious 😅) promotions, for following my journey on Instagram @DahloCreations, for checking out my LinkedIn page, and for being part of this very personal entrepreneurial adventure.

And yes—I’ll need all the support I can get. I’ll be seeking funding in the months ahead to help grow this dream.

If you’re an expert in business, marketing, or social media—or if you’re open to mentoring, coaching, or supporting me as an intern or volunteer—I’d love to hear from you.

Help me if you can, when you can. And please share my posts and promos with others who might resonate with my work.

To my friends, family, and early supporters: thank you for buying my products!
And to all the beautiful strangers I’ve yet to meet—I can’t wait for the day you buy something simply because you love what I create and what I stand for:

Artful products that are beautiful, intentional, and of the highest quality.

I started The Inward & Outward Journal — part blog, part living testament to Courageous Shifts that changed everything in my life, past, present and future.

With gratitude,
