Velardi-Alejandro always wanted to be her own boss and use her knowledge to help others who are possibly “design challenged” or who “just don’t have the time” to pull it all together. She says “There is great reward and satisfaction with helping others in need with something that comes so naturally to me. Over the years I have met many wise and successful individuals who have taught me to “Always remember who you are, believe in yourself, work hard, respect others, do what you enjoy; The rest will fall in place.”
Although currently a sole proprietor of her business, Velardi-Alejandro has aspirations to grow sooner than later by bringing on local college interns who are studying design; So she can pass on all her knowledge and expertise that she has gained over the years and am still learning, to them. She was fortunate to have work-studies and internships throughout her schooling which gave her the springboard she needed to go for her dreams and she is looking to share that with younger generations!
