Living in Melbourne, I am a wife and a mother to a beautiful teenage daughter. When Covid hit, my 15-year-old Gypsy Janine Face Painting business took a dive.

After looking at several ways to pivot, a Face Painting mentor from USA recommended Yard Cards. So, after several months researching, I decided to bite the bullet – but it was not so easy in Australia! Shipping signs from USA was way too expensive and none of the printers I found here had a clue what I was looking for, so I had to learn how to design the files myself.

My files were popular, and I started selling my files on commission in USA. My Shout Out Party Signs business took a bit of a back seat while I got stuck into designing.

I also started a Facebook group for Aussie Yard Carders so we could share information, which is where I met Hannah, and we clicked straight away.

I am a stay-at-home Mother of one, from QLD, with a forever optimistic spirit always looking for a way to unleash my creative flair while being able to spend as much time with my daughter as possible.

Having worked my whole life throughout a variety of industries I never found the one that truly pulled me in and kept me inspired. I came across “Yard Cards” on social media and delved into it some more, continuing to be intrigued by the idea I decided this was it.

Bringing the idea home was a challenge, especially as being Australia based there were no distributors specific to this and so after meeting Janine online, also having recently discovered Yard Cards, we decided to design and make our own inventory distribution business.
