In the summer of 2020, after being laid off like so many others during COVID-19, I finally decided to pursue an idea I’d been dreaming about for more than a decade. I reached out to an old friend and colleague—also a skilled handywoman—and together we launched Ms. Honey Do Handywoman Services.

​

I value service, collaboration, and creative problem-solving—especially when it helps people feel more at ease in their homes.

​

It all began with a simple Facebook post: “Hey, I’m starting a handywoman business with my friend!” From that moment on, the work never really slowed—and I’ve been joyfully busy ever since.

​

Although my original partner has since stepped away from the business, her influence remains part of what I do every day. We brought complementary skills to the table, and the lessons we shared continue to shape how I work. While COVID-19 may have sparked the business, life’s challenges—including her early retirement due to illness—have deepened my gratitude for this work and for the people I meet through it. We still get together for lunch and “talk shop,” and I treasure that connection.

​

Today, I operate Ms. Honey Do as a sole proprietor, often collaborating with wonderful people on multi-day projects or larger jobs that require extra hands. I also maintain a trusted network of skilled professionals across the trades—so if I’m not the right fit for a particular project, I can usually recommend someone who is.

​

I love helping clients reimagine their spaces—whether that means reorganizing a work or storage area, or designing thoughtful, accessible modifications that make life easier and safer. Every home (and every body) is unique, and I believe our spaces should adapt gracefully to the people who live in them.

​

When I’m not working in clients’ homes, I’m tending to my own—my garden, my dog, my cats, and my kiddo keep life full and lively. I recharge by reading, crafting, getting outside to hike or camp, and enjoying quiet evenings with a good show.
