Belvedere Designs started in the living room of a 600 sq ft apartment. My husband had just started grad school, working on a PhD in Political Theory and American Government, we had just had our first baby, and we needed a way to provide for our little family and pay for school. I had worked for a sign shop when we first got married so I knew the ropes, and my husband bought a book to learn how to design a website, so we jumped in with both feet. We would work all day and almost through the night, stopping only every couple of hours to feed the baby, have a quick bite to eat, or rush off to class. As our little boy grew, so did the business, occupying every square inch of space in our very small apartment. We had vinyl stacked in closets, and under the bed, and in the pantry. We had boxes leaning against the couch and bookcases. As the business grew and we needed more room for supplies, we sold all of our living room furniture to make room for them. Our little boy even knew our phone number before he was two because he heard me repeat it so often to customers on the phone.
