It's time to create and celebrate with Laura Drayton! Literally, such a perfect Business Babe feature because she is involved with everything! From designing to baking Laura Drayton makes everything cute and perfect. We love her story and simply could not wait to share!
Tell us more about yourself and your business?
My name is Laura Drayton, and I am the owner of Laura
Drayton Creative, LLC. I have quite a few occupations: designer, baker,
blogger, traveler, and I manage a small online boutique of fun party supplies
and office accessories (www.shopld.com), but my background actually
doesn't have much to do with any of this! I'm currently a full-time grad
student at Michigan State University's College of Human Medicine, pursuing a
Masters in Public Health. As a way to fulfill my creative passions while in
school, I started a small Etsy shop that sold organizational printables and
designed stationery on the side. Eventually, I got to a point where I had way
too many ideas and too little time. Finally, at the beginning of 2014, I sat
down and decided to finally merge all of my creative passions into one place,
and the Laura Drayton Creative brand was born. I had no idea that my little
shop would soon grow into my own brand, but I am beyond thrilled that it has
turned into a job that inspires and excites me.
What is your day to day like?
Day to day, I really have to admit that I don't have a set
schedule. With such a long list of occupations, I am packing and shipping
orders one day, and composing a blog post the next. Almost every day, I
fill in some time with design work and creating something fun (like cupcakes or
a project). I find inspiration from my daily life, but my favorite place
to draw inspiration is from my travels. I love bringing home new ideas
(and recipes) from all of the countries I've been able to visit.
What is next on your agenda?
Looking forward, my main priority is focus. My creative mind often
runs wild, and I find myself with too many ideas and too little time (which is
where the long list of occupations come in). I struggle with what to give
up in order to put more time into pursuing the things that are most
important. One of the most important things I want to focus on in helping
others, which is why I launched my Love
in Motion project. If I can do what I love while helping
others, I'm happy (and so extremely lucky!)
