Featured Entrepreneurs

Jasmine Perfect
Founder of: Jasmine Perfect Creative
I provide graphic design and creative direction for small businesses and entrepreneurs. I offer services by the hour, project or on retainer. My goal is to work with small businesses that do not have the budget for an in-house graphic designer or full service agency, but still have graphic design needs to elevate and market their business.

Greatest Challenge: Turning my business from side hustle to full time income. My problem is time - when I do have regular clients, I have trouble finding time to market/network/grow because I'm trying to keep up on my current clients, as well as a full time job. I have made baby steps by designing a website, streamlining payment/rate, and posting on instagram, but none of these things have lead to work - most of my clients are word of mouth.
