A Bit of News

Well, it's not new news, but I wanted to let you all know that I decided to part ways with High Gloss. I made the call a few weeks ago and I should've posted about it sooner, but I'm not really good with grand announcements of any sort. After receiving lots of emails and comments about the matter, I thought it best to set the record straight for everyone here.

While I won't get into the full spectrum of circumstances that prompted the change, I will say that it was a difficult but necessary decision to make and I'm excited about moving on and exploring other opportunities that make more sense for me. In any case, I appreciate the encouragement and support that so many of you offered up throughout the venture!

Like so many instances in life, I'm looking at this through the "when one door closes, another one opens" lens. Part of that "next door" is devoting more time to design work. By making more room in my life for that, I'll be able to take on more clients, especially more local clients. Up to this point, e-design has been the only service that I could really fit into my schedule. While I enjoy the challenges of digital decorating, e-design projects haven't allowed me to build a comprehensive portfolio. So, I'm looking forward to working with more people in and around Dallas...and of course, sharing my design adventures with all of you!

Totally unrelated to the subject above, this is my dogwood tree in bloom. Just thought the post could use a pretty photo!

    Good for you Kyle. I'm going through some major changes regarding work and it's so hard, but you're right about remembering that one door closes and another door opens...this is for sure.

    Congratulations on making such a difficult decision and on a new road ahead.

    As my grandma says "You only get this one life - don't spend it worrying about everyone else." Very true words in this case. You did what's best for you and we're all excited to see the projects that result from focusing on your design work!
