I knew I was ready for something new, but I had no idea what that “something” was.

I was in a season of soul-searching—trying to uncover what skills I truly had to offer and how I could use them in a meaningful way.

Each morning, I’d sit in my backyard with coffee in hand, quietly pondering and praying for clarity. One day, I noticed a little bird flying down from the tree above, searching the ground for the perfect twigs to build her nest. She would examine one, set it down, try another—so careful and deliberate in choosing just the right pieces for her home.

I watched this ritual day after day, and something about it struck me. There were so many twigs available, yet she didn’t just take the first one she found. She chose with intention. And I realized—this was me. I had options in front of me, but I didn’t want to chase just anything. I wanted to build something meaningful and beautiful.

Eventually, a clear path emerged and a company gave me a chance (@keleenleathers). That opportunity turned into a career I genuinely love and Kendall Grace Collection was born—named after my two daughters, Jolie Kendall and Lexie Grace.

At my core, I’m a mom first. I want the work I do to reflect what I hope to show my girls: that it’s possible to lead with purpose, create beauty, and make the world a little better by sharing what you love.
