Spencer Nicks

When I could no longer stay up til 3am and then get up at 6am with the kids, I started looking for help from management. A huge company partnered with me and we tripled my income. After about 2 years I started realizing this company was actually hurting my brand by falsely advertising my content, which is never how I liked to do business, so I left and haven’t looked back. Now I’m mainly running things by myself, with a little help from others, bc let’s face it, to run an account with over 100,000 members, would be impossible to do yourself. Read more>>

Marquis Nolden

I had always been passionate about nature, finding joy and calm in nurturing plants and creating vibrant outdoor spaces. It began as a hobby, planting flowers and vegetables in my backyard with my grandmother. Eventually, my uncle suggested to redo our front garden. That small project blossomed into more referrals and suddenly, I found a growing client base. Read more>>

Everyone has a story, Im just telling what I’ve seen, been through, and done from my childhood to now. I don’t really see no point to extend and keep going. I’m telling my story in my art that’s what I want everyone to hear. Read more>>

Eddie Ares

Very competitive in sports, Eddie played baseball and ice hockey throughout his teenage years. Recruited by the New York Yankees Organization as a baseball player, he played semi-professional baseball during the summer months. During the winter, he played ice hockey as a goaltender and ultimately received an offer from the Oshawa Generals. Eddie subsequently began spending his winters in Canada playing hockey and his summers at home in New York playing baseball. After sustaining an injury, he moved south to join the U.S. Army. After two years of service, he was discharged and immediately found a new passion in competitive ballroom dancing. Read more>>

Nick Suszynski

The first time I participated in the professional arts world was during my time at Georgia State University. I saw a flyer on campus for an open call Eyedrum was having and got in! I felt really accomplished getting my art in at least one show before graduating. Because of this group show, I also had my work published for the first time in their arts and literary journal Underground. The people from Underground interviewed me on the show’s opening night which really took me by surprise! Read more>>

Vamos Chicos is more than just an art program—it’s a bilingual eco-arts experience. We cater our classes to the language levels of each school we partner with. In some schools, our sessions are fully immersed in Spanish, while in others, we maintain a more basic bilingual approach. No matter the setting, children are not only learning creative skills but also expanding their Spanish vocabulary, making language learning a natural part of their artistic exploration. Read more>>

Temi Erinle

Another challenge has been working with clients who have big visions but limited budgets. Some clients come with high expectations for elaborate decorations, but their budgets don’t always match the vision. It can be tricky, but I do my best to explain what’s possible within their budget and still deliver something beautiful and memorable. It’s taught me to be more creative, flexible, and honest in my communication. Read more>>

Jordan Taylor

Jordan’s Virtual Desk was launched in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, shortly after I graduated college at 17. My passion for supporting businesses through creative design, social media management, and streamlined programs drove me to create a business that not only showcases the brilliant individuals behind these ventures but also helps them reclaim valuable time to focus on what matters most—the core of their business.
