As a designer in the stainless steel manufacturing industry for nearly 20 years, I felt limited in my creativity. I started De La Design as a way to make gifts for family and friends, to have a creative outlet, and to make just a little bit of money on the side. After 2 years, I was successful enough to quit my day job and make gifts full time. A year later, my husband quit his welding job and also joined De La Design full time.
We are so appreciative of our customers and the opportunity that we have been given. We put in longer days then when we "worked for the man" but the rewards are far greater. We are so blessed to be able to work together in our home and to also provide part time employment for my mother-in-law, my daughter and my brother-in-law. Our always present 3 cats think that it is normal to stay home all day and have become quite spoiled because of it. Our 3 teenagers have quickly adjusted to the fact that we are "always available".
I, however, have become quite the night-owl, so don't be surprised that I often return "convos" in the middle of the night. And with hubby being an early-bird, it seems like we are Always Open for Business!
