Brenda Priest is a wife and mother of 2 beautiful daughters.  Her education background is in Interior Design and Illustration.  After graduating with a BS of Science, she worked as a space planner for a number of years for an architect in Cary, North Carolina.  After the birth of her first child, she needed to be more available for her family so she did free-lance work with the Parade of Homes for a decade.  Her interests are varied – from cross-stitching, crafts, jewelry making and scrapbooking.  She has volunteered in many capacities in the PTA, from being the secretary, Vice-President, running programs and events, to classroom Mom for both her children.

Your Door & More started out with a business partner, Lisa Drymon.  Lisa is a natural-born salesperson, while Brenda is the artistic one.  They needed an opportunity to be available for our pre-school aged children while still making an income.  Lisa helped Your Door & More for a year, then due to circumstances  beyond her control, she had to leave the business and enter the corporate working world.  This left Brenda with the decision to continue on or leave Your Door & More as a memory.

Brenda decided to carry on the business solo.  Gaining the strength and motivation was another thing.  With loads of support from her husband, family and friends, she found the drive to move forward.  Gaining experience from the Holly Springs Leads Group and other local leads groups, she pushed on, growing her portfolio and confidence.

Brenda is now able to present her work to the Coffee & Contacts, Triangle Business Exchange, Apex Leads Group and the Holly Springs Leads Groups with confidence.  There is still a lot to learn about marketing, business and presentations, but now, she can do it with some gusto and convey her passion for illustration!
