First of all, hello and welcome to MK Redesign. We’re so happy you’re here. We thought that it might be helpful to share with our audience a little bit more of our story. Who we are, how we got started, a little more about us personally, etc.
Kirsten and I met several years ago at a Bible Study. We got to know each other a little bit as her son was in the children’s class that I helped lead. Besides knowing that we were both boy moms who attended the same Bible study, we didn’t know much about each other.
Fast forward a few years and we had hung out on the occasion and had impromptu play dates. Then one day while out for lunch I remember Kirsten saying to me “So I have something I want to run by you”. She went on to explain that this business idea had been on her heart and mind and she just couldn’t shake it. She knew I had a passion for interior styling and design (as did she) and so she went on to ask me if I would ever consider doing this as a business with her. I told her that I was definitely open to it but I needed some time think about it and discuss with my husband.
“Do it!” Was the response I got from my husband. He had no hesitation, which if you know my husband is not a typical response for him. So needless to say, we didn’t have a whole lot to discuss as we were both on the same page. That doesn’t mean I wasn’t nervous, but the excitement definitely outweighed the nerves.
Once I told Kirsten that I was game, we got right to work. Uffda, no one tells you how much behind-the- scenes work goes into starting a business. To say that we had a lot to learn was an understatement.
The design part is the fun part, but as anyone who has started their own business knows, it takes much more to run a business. From marketing, designing, advertising, learning how to use quickbooks, Kirsten and I worked our little behinds off.
I’m so thankful that we have different strengths because this became quite useful to us at different times. I’m so thankful that one of us, I won’t say who (Her name rhymes with Smirsten ;-)) seems to be better gifted on the technological side of things. Her skills in that area have come in handy more than once on this journey.
Kirsten and I have also had so much fun starting this business. We both love helping our clients create homes in which they feel comfortable and peaceful. We love taking clients’ needs and requests and creating something that they love. I think it’s safe to say that working with clients is definitely our favorite part of this business.
So once again, welcome and thank you for being there. We strive to create authentic and beautiful content for you to enjoy. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
Molly and Kirsten
