Growing up, I always had a passion for creative pursuits and desire to make a difference in the world. However, beginning in high school and continuing through university, reality dampened my dreams and I realized that “passion doesn’t pay the bills.” So, instead of pursing my dreams, I worked part-time as a payroll clerk and paid my through university to earn my BBA in accounting.

For both work and school, I had to create Excel spreadsheets to complete assignments. At first, I saw spreadsheets as just another, “tool of the trade” that made my life easier. However, something strange happened. I started enjoying creating spreadsheets. What I thought had killed my creativity became its very foundation.

From there, I realized my dream of being creative and make a difference was more alive than ever. Combining my creative side, desire to make a difference, and business acumen, I founded Coffee & Credits as a platform to provide creative solutions to a variety of business needs.
