I founded Transcending Waves in January 2017, where I created my first product, the Transcending Waves Planner — a daily goal journal designed using principles from positive psychology to promote productivity, gratitude, and overall well-being.

While building the brand, I developed responsive HTML email campaigns from scratch to support marketing automation and customer engagement initiatives. This hands-on experience gave me early exposure to email marketing platforms and CRM tools, including Salesforce, Shopify, Klaviyo, and Mailchimp, and laid the foundation for my career in email and marketing technology.

I grew Transcending Waves into a six-figure business by implementing and optimizing multi-channel marketing strategies, including email marketing, affiliate marketing, influencer partnerships, paid and organic social media, SEO, retail distribution, and Amazon FBA. I successfully sold the business in August 2019 to pursue a full-time career in web and email development.

Through this experience, I discovered my passion for web development and email engineering. I consistently found myself focused on optimizing website performance, UX, and conversion flows, and realized I wanted direct ownership over the technical execution rather than relying on third-party developers. This realization ultimately led me to specialize in HTML email development and Salesforce Marketing Cloud, where I now focus on building scalable, high-quality customer communications.
