Today we’d like to introduce you to Caroline Schulze.
Hi Caroline, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
My interest in my passion of graphic design began in high school after taking a graphic design class. After this class, I knew that I wanted to receive a graphic design degree at the university that I decided to attend. I chose the University of Houston to pursue my dreams in graphic design. Upon graduating, I wanted to also include my passion for content creation and website design into my work. After making this decision, I started my own business which I named Caroline Schulze Design! My services encompass all of the things I love doing— content creation and website and graphic design. Today, I provide several clients with social media management, content creation, and website and graphic design.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It has not always been a smooth road. Deciding to start your own business is a huge risk, as anyone will tell you, and it takes a long time to build a client base as well as learn how to fully run a business on your own. During the year I have had my business, I have learned that every obstacle is a teaching moment. Not everything will go exactly how you envisioned it or have planned out, but you have to have patience and believe in yourself.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I provide social media management, website and graphic design, and content creation and editing to small businesses! I specialize in creating a memorable brand that an audience will want to engage with. I am mainly known for social media management and content creation. This is a need for many small businesses as they simply do not have the time to be able to do this step on their own. Website and graphic design is still needed by small businesses, but it is less of a need than social media and content creation. I am most proud of the amount that I have learned over the past year as I have established my business. As anything, my business started off as just an idea and I have been able to transform that idea into a brand that means something to others. I am proud to have grown in both my skills and my personal brand. What sets me apart from others is my willingness to always go above and beyond for my current or potential clients. I am willing to do whatever it takes to be able to make their brand the best that it can be and have it be recognizable by all.
Do you have recommendations for books, apps, blogs, etc?
The app that helps me do my best is the Business Meta Suite. It makes social media management much easier with having all of the client’s accounts, i.e. Facebook and Instagram, linked so you are able to make several posts at the same time. It is also helpful to have a real time update of comments, DMs, etc.
