I am excited to announce that today I started a new chapter in my life. After 6 years with my previous employer I accepted a position as a Marketing Manager at a company called Origami Owl. I can’t tell you how perfect the timing was for this.
My last day of work at my previous company was Friday. Yesterday (Monday) they laid off half the company. I surely would have been on the list. I feel a lot of sadness and anger about this situation. I will keep it to myself aside from saying that this could have been prevented. The one thing I loved about that job was the people I worked with. My heart hurts for them.
But for myself, I am happy to have started this new adventure. I have a pink office. PINK! I see smiling faces everywhere and have received more hugs in one day than I have my entire adult life! OK, not that many, but A LOT.
Origami Owl is a custom jewelry company that was founded by a 14 year old who had a dream of buying her own car. FOURTEEN! Can you believe it? Since 2010 the company has catapulted and it’s jewelry is now available online or through Independent Designers.
“If you can dream it, you can do it” – This is the core belief at Origami Own, and a belief I will now hold close to me. I am beyond thankful for this opportunity.
