Episode 4 –

In this episode of From Sketch to Success, I sit down for a quick self-interview to talk about a side of my work that many don’t see — my construction business, Ortega’s Granite & Remodeling.

I share how I got started in construction, what it’s like managing a remodeling company alongside running Lil Giant Design, and the story behind our logo and what it represents. This episode is all about showing that creativity isn’t just for design — it’s in how you build, manage, and grow a business too.

If you’re curious about the other half of what I do outside of graphic design, this episode gives you a closer look at the full picture.
