Hi. I'm Laurie.
Crafty creative thinker;
lover of coffee, dogs, bourbon, and bicycle rides; worshiper of sunshine;
enjoyer of awful television shows;
seasoned designer & small business owner.
A little history.
In 2012, on a whim I started The Creative Sideshow, where I am able to showcase and manage my freelance opportunities; love for custom wedding invitation & stationery designs; photography and so much more.
Piece by piece, I have put together a full online shop,
a solid portfolio, and have completed tons of projects
for many happy clients.
I’m hoping one day I’ll be famous for my work.
A girl can dream.
Until then, I’ll be constantly expanding my creative horizons and look forward to whatever opportunities the future brings.

Ode to Hobie:
The OG Office Mascot.
Taking the irreplaceable role of TCS's original mascot
and part founder, Hobie was our unique little ball of
fur that warmed the hearts of many.
From 2009 to 2021, he was our side-kick-best-friend who made every day fun with his silly behavior, interesting aromas, and abundance of love and
cuddling. We wouldn’t have traded a second of time
with him for anything else in the world.
Fun Facts that will never get old...
• Slept for 80% of the day.
• The other 20% liked to chase tennis balls,
go for walks, and stare at me.
• Loved cheese, ice cubes, and warm blankets.
• Part gargoyle (we still think).
• Skateboard wheels were his nemesis.
New Kid On The Block:
Makoa
Koa joined us in 2023 and has been the best addition to the
club anyone could have asked for. I guess you could say we
have a soft spot for goofy Boxers.
So far, he's pretty easy to have as an office manager.
His design skills could use some improvements, though.
Fun Facts...
• Literally the cutest being on the planet.
• Enjoys classical music and back rubs.
• Also loves cheese, ice cubes, and warm blankets.
• Will work for food.
• Snores and burps like an actual pig.
