You may have noticed that someone else is answering your
emails these days. That’s me!
So I thought I would take over the blog today and say hello!
I’m Kelsey Smith, Rebekah’s daughter.
Many of you know me as a fraktur artist and, more recently,
an embroiderer. My mother has shared my work with you before. But now we are
teaming up in a bigger way. Technically my title is “Operations Manager” but I
may also be referred to now and again as “Assistant Extraordinaire.” When we tried to come up with a title, it was
difficult. I am doing so many things for the business it is hard to pin down.
As part of my introduction to the inner workings of Rebekah
L. Smith’s business, I thought I would share with you my job subtitles and what
I have been working on:
Graphic Designer: I lay out all of the individual patterns,
make the lines smooth, and design the covers. Advertising, tags, business
cards, logo—these are now all my job!
Online Sales: Customer service, wholesale and mailing are
all part of my day. I get your orders processed, packed and shipped out as fast
as I can.
Organization Strategist: This is one of my strengths, and I
enjoy helping keep everything on track and recorded. Anything from files to
pictures to processes, I love to strategize and organize!
Social Media Manager: While I have not completely taken
over, I help Rebekah plan and post for Facebook, Instagram, and her blog.
Traveling Companion: I will be traveling with my mother to
workshops, a job which can also be classified as “pack mule.” So I will be
seeing more of your lovely faces!
Etc.: You know, all that other stuff. Tea-drinking, brainstorming, eating, laughing, coming up with ludicrous ideas, taking notes on the ludicrous ideas, planning to rule the world…etc.
If you have any questions in these areas for me, you can
email me at workroom@rebekahlsmith.com
I am excited about my new position here, and happy to help!
You are doing a wonderful job. Nice to hear from you Kelsey!
