Meet Laurel
I’m a kindergarten teacher by day, and self-proclaimed shopping enthusiast, bargain hunter, organization lover and “momager” the rest of the time. A few years ago I watched my oldest daughter graduate from high school and prepare for her next chapter: college (pause to remember just how amazing and terrifying that felt to send your BABY to college!!!).
Fast forward to that summer, where I found myself immersed in the world of dorm essentials, dorm décor, and college hacks thanks to the numerous “parent of college student pages” I discovered on Facebook and Instagram. Suddenly I was juggling shopping trips, endless lists, and online searches for everything from underbed storage solutions to comforters and room decor that was going to make my daughter’s dorm room feel just as comfy as her bedroom at home.
It then made me think, “What if I could offer a service that helped students and their families navigate the world of bedspreads, XL sheets and framed art prints?” And just like that, The Styled Send-Off™ was born.
Now, I work with families who want to send their student off to college with a space that feels special, comforting, and completely “them.” I take the decision fatigue out of the dorm prep process, so you can focus on the emotional stuff (because let’s be honest, there’s a LOT of that).
If you’re ready to give your student a thoughtful, personalized send-off (without the stress) and if you’re a newly graduated senior with big dorm room dreams (or just need some inspiration in the dorm department), I’d love to help! Let’s make this new space feel like home from day one.
