Today you get to hear from Katy Boykin, who is an incredible brand designer and WordPress designer. My goal with this interview (and the 3 coming next week) is to show you what’s possible in your business. You’ve heard my story time and time again on the podcast, but this time I’m interviewing 3 friends to share their stories with you. These women are all 3 designers who design on different platforms, and have all taken Booked Out Designer. They’re sharing things like how they got into business, their pain points along the way, what helped, what didn’t, where they are right now in their journey, and more!  In this interview with Katy, you’ll hear so much GOODNESS.
