Urban Artistry with Linsey Pecile
b'
This week's WE RISE episode is featuring Linsey Pecile, founder of Urban Artistry! Her pursuit for passion had been a long time coming until she founded Urban Artistry. Their mission at Urban Artistry is to help people create the events of their dreams without the financial burden that typically comes along with that. Of course in the process of that, she also gets to follow her dream which encompasses everything she loves; design, art, construction and nature. She's done many things so far in not too much time some would say. She went to school for architecture, proceeded to work in an engineering firm in the USA, developed a post-diploma degree in 3-D architecture at Fanshawe college, Taught at Fanshawe college and is still in their architectural BIM program, taught at St Clair college and was the manager of research and development.
She can now say she is comfortable enough at this time in her life to know what she enjoys and what she does not enjoy about a career. So when she thought about launching urban artistry it was very clear to her what its intent should be. She has always loved design and seeing how things are built, come together and showing a beautiful final piece. This speaks not only to architecture but design as a whole. She is a self-taught woodworker with help from her husband and it is absolutely a passion of hers that she's recently been able to spend more time on due to Covid. Urban artistry was created in the midst of the pandemic. Not because that\\u2019s when it was first thought of but simply because that\\u2019s when she first had the time to actually sit down and think about her future.
We talk about what made her decide to start Urban Artistry, where she learned the art of creating event rental pieces, what it was like launching an event rental business during a pandemic, where she finds inspiration for her products, how she manages her time while running her own business and working full-time, what she's learned about herself in the process, what advice she would give to someone else starting a business, challenges she's overcome in creating her business, future plans & more!\\xa0
