Stockdale Design

Many of my design clients inquired about me planning their special engagements. Life celebrations became more fun and inspiring to me as each one passed. One of my clients asked me to do a corporate Christmas party, transforming an enormous warehouse into a Winter wonderland with décor, entertainment and catering. This was transitional for my career. I took the project on without a doubt in my abilities and worked around the clock for an entire month to put the party together for her employees and families.

It was a smashing hit and that was IT – I was an event planner. On the downhill, you can sometimes expect another curve. In 2010 divorce was immanent and I needed a “real” job. Two sweet gals and their mama needed a very steady and solid income. A dear friend hired me as a meeting manager, utilizing my logistics and hospitality talents. Leaning into the curve, I really did enjoy this position. However, life for me, is not behind a desk.

God comes in, straightening out this curve too. My neighbor introduced me to a woman that blogged about DIY “stuff”. He said – “you do all that and you should blog. She wants to start a conference specific for DIY women bloggers. I told her she should call you and here is her number.” I called her! 2012 was a special year for Stockdale Design, we co-founded the HAVEN Conference, a crazy fun DIY design niche influencer conference.

In 2017, Stockdale Design founded WorkbenchCon, an intense DIY niche conference connecting social influencers with brands and inspiring makers with relevant content to transition their passion into a career.

Stockdale Design incorporates their DIY spirit into all they do with an enthusiasm and resourcefulness, unlike any other event design firm you have ever worked with. We are celebrating and inspiring businesses, along with the marketing & human resources teams – giving them TIME to do what they do by creating a successful, on budget, event to showcase the company’s milestones, holidays and successes.
