Doodle Home is an online interior design and luxury home furnishings destination for consumers, designers and manufacturers. We give consumers inspirational and educational tools, a personally curated selection of luxury products and will connect them with interior designers upon request. We give designers a platform to reach new clients, additional exposure and are announcing a few more tools in the next few months. Lastly, for the manufacturers and showrooms, we provide access to new audiences through a new channel while still preserving their brand values.
Finding this job was like a dream come true! I get to mix my passion for design and love of marketing at the same time. As Director of Sales and Marketing, I work on all of our marketing, advertising and social media campaigns as well as our website content. Since we are a new business, there are so many opportunities out there for us – it’s finding the right ones that are the right fit. I was recently asked to describe “my typical day” and I had to laugh… there is no “typical day” at Doodle Home! Every day is different and rewarding in its own way – I’m constantly learning and NEVER bored.
We recently moved into our new office in the Madison Building (which we designed!) downtown Detroit with other Quicken Loan family companies such as Detroit Venture Partners and Detroit Labs. The city is so alive right now and there is so much to do; it’s been such a great time!
The best career advice I could give anyone is to go after what you love. I was in a job that I was unhappy in but afraid to leave because I kept hearing no one was hiring because of the economy. When I was forced to look elsewhere, I found Doodle Home. Now I get to go to work every day, doing what I love, surrounded by great people. It can’t get much better!
