THE STORY OF ME (REBECCA SCOTT) AND RS DESIGN.

WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL, I REALLY WASN’T SURE WHAT I WANTED TO DO WITH MY LIFE. I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED AND ENJOYED ART AND CREATING THINGS. ONE OF MY COUSINS KNEW THIS AND ONE DAY SUGGESTED THAT I LOOK INTO GRAPHIC DESIGN. I LOOKED INTO IT, AND IT DID LOOK PRETTY INTERESTING TO ME, BUT TO BE HONEST, I FELT A BIT SKEPTICAL ABOUT MAKING A CAREER OUT OF IT. AFTER MUCH CONSIDERATION, I DECIDED TO RUN WITH IT.  SO IN AUGUST 2005, I STARTED MY JOURNEY.

AFTER I GRADUATED WITH MY ASSOCIATE’S DEGREE, I ENDED UP WORKING IN A DAYCARE FOR FIVE YEARS. I FELT DISSATISFIED WITH MY LIFE SO TOOK A BREAK AND SEARCHED FOR A JOB IN MY FIELD OF GRAPHIC DESIGN. I WAS HIRED BY A PRINTING COMPANY IN YANKTON. OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, I LEARNED A LOT AND GREW TO REALLY LOVE GRAPHIC DESIGN AND STRETCHING MYSELF CREATIVELY. BY THIS TIME, I WAS MARRIED AND HAD A GROWING FAMILY OF LITTLE BOYS. THOUGH I LOVED MY CAREER, I DECIDED I WANTED TO BE HOME WITH MY CHILDREN. I HAD A LITTLE FREE TIME, SO I THOUGHT I WOULD START MY OWN GRAPHIC DESIGN BUSINESS AT HOME. I NOW HAVE BEEN THE OWNER OF RS DESIGN FOR ABOUT SEVEN YEARS AND IT'S BEEN A DREAM COME TRUE! I CAN PURSUE THE CAREER THAT I LOVE WHILE BEING A STAY-AT-HOME MOM TO MY BOYS! 

I TRULY LOVE WHERE I AM AT THIS POINT IN MY LIFE. I USED TO TELL MY HUSBAND AND SOME OF MY FAMILY THAT I WOULD NEVER START MY OWN BUSINESS, BUT WITH THEIR SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT, I WAS ABLE TO. I WOULDN’T BE HERE WRITING THIS WITHOUT THEM. I WOULD SAY, THE HARDEST PART RIGHT NOW IS FINDING ENOUGH TIME FOR EVERYTHING, BUT YOUR KIDS WILL ONLY STAY LITTLE FOR A SHORT TIME, AND I CAN ALWAYS DO MORE WORK WHEN THEY ALL ARE IN SCHOOL.

THE BEST PART ABOUT ALL THIS IS GOING OUT AND ABOUT AND SEEING MY CREATIONS ALONG THE SIDE OF THE STREET, ON BILLBOARDS, IN THE MAIL, AND BEING WORN. I TRULY HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH SOME OF THE MOST FUN JOBS AND AWESOME CUSTOMERS. I LOOK FORWARD TO WATCHING 2023 BE THE BEST YEAR YET AND TO MAKING NEW FRIENDS AND CUSTOMERS.

I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS, AND I'M READY AND EXCITED TO HELP YOU OUT WITH YOUR NEXT PROJECT. THANKS FOR READING THIS AND FOR FOLLOWING MY JOURNEY. HAVE THE BEST DAY!!
