Meet the
Dynamic Duo
Leslie (in front), has been the head creator and boss lady of Leslie Hand Painted Glass for 25 years.
She started out painting glasses for family and friends, painting her girlfriends’ likenesses on wine glasses for their ‘Girls Night’ get-togethers. Next thing she knew she was selling her glassware at art festivals and craft fairs which allowed her to leave her 9 to 5.
Today you can find Leslie’s hand painted glassware in downtown & uptown boutiques, cute cottage shops, specialty stores, wineries, and online anytime and anywhere.
Des (in back), is a virtual assistant – aka virtual workhorse for all the things you don’t have time for. She has been doing administrative work for 15 years.
When her administrative assistant job of 12 plus years came to an end, she came to the realization that helping others GET STUFF DONE was truly what she loved doing, so she decided to venture out on her own to do just that.
Today Des supports female entrepreneurs who are ready to scale their business but don’t have the time or the tech skills to do it on their own. She helps them plan, build, launch, and manage their online courses and projects so they can earn more income and help more clients without putting in more work.
Are you ready to turn your art into a business?
Together, with Leslie’s background in starting and running an art-based business and Des’s behind-the-scenes systems and tech knowledge, we’ll show you the ‘easy button’ for getting online so you can turn your creative hobby into a full-time gig.
