A History of Entrepreneurship by Melanie Spring

In January of 2001, I became an accidental entrepreneur & opened a web-publishing company called E-Spring Works. After graduating college, I spent a few years working for start-ups and Fortune 500 companies learning how to (and how not to) be a good boss.

In December of 2004, I was chatting with my mom about wanting to start my business up again but under a new name. She reminded me of Sisarina. (read more about that here) I had a friend create a girly pink logo and business card for me. (That friend, Jason, starts working full-time for Sisarina as Director of Pixels today!)

On April 1 2009, my boss asked what I would do if he couldn't pay me anymore. My answer: Work for myself. On May 1, 2009, I opened Sisarina... again. Three years later I sit in my sunny office at Sisarina HQ so full of thanks I could explode. Although it's been over 11 years since I started this adventure, I can officially say I've been a full-time entrepreneur for 3 straight years today.

This is the evolution of Sisarina's branding via websites over the last 11 and a half years.
