Hey there, I’m Adeena! Welcome to the home of my hobby turned side-hustle. I’m happy to have you, and hope to connect with you soon if we haven’t already!

I’m a Pacific Northwest kid born and raised, currently based in Vancouver, WA. I live with my two boys—Asher, my German Shepherd, and Eric, my human other half. The bulk of my week is spent wearing the hat of Customer Service Manager of CE Printing, the home of Copy Express and ExpressKolor, where I get to help folks bring their print-based visions to life. In May of 2024, I will graduate from Washington State University with two bachelor’s degrees covering communications, women’s studies, psychology and business.

Outside of being glued to computers for most of my day, it’s important I dedicate time to a personal value of mine, health. Life can throw major curveballs, which is why it’s important to spend time healing and maintaining your physical, mental and emotional health. Without that strength, I wouldn’t be able to throw myself into my passions, like this side-hustle, or even maintain a full-time job. As diagnoses and problems have come and gone for me over the years, I speak up against stigmas and share my own experiences with others with the hope I can help someone else feeling trapped by their physical and mental limitations. We all have some sort of obstacle working against us, but it’s important to keep pushing forward. As the cover of my favorite planner says, take it one day at a time!
