I’m the one behind the scenes here at We Can Make That as the SVG designer, creator of the Marketing Planner for Entrepreneur™ and many more tasks. I’m not a newbie to entrepreneurship as I’m going into my 27th year with my graphic design and marketing studio in Bismarck, ND. I hope you’ll join us as we learn, connect and win some great prizes at this years’ event.

Sarah Williams
Founder of Launch Your Box
Sarah Williams’ business journey started in a tiny retail store filled with handmade and monogrammed items. She quickly outgrew that space as she welcomed an ever-growing group of loyal customers to her shop. Sarah’s desire to make those loyal customers feel special led her to launch a subscription box in 2017, even though she didn’t know much about that business. But she learned fast and her subscription box business grew even faster.
