My name is Kimberlee and I have always been an entrepreneur at heart. I have had many successful and some not so successful direct sales businesses in the past, and was always looking for something to pour my creative talents into and then turn into a profit. In 2008 I began my career in the field of education, teaching 6th and 7th grade Language Arts and Social Studies. After over a decade in the classroom, I decided to take a break and open my first brick and mortar gift shop. “My Dragonfly Designs” was my dream shop and I specialized in custom gifts and personalization with embroidery and vinyl. Then COVID hit. I had been taking care of my great aunt and great uncle for the past several years, and having lost my aunt in 2019 just a few short weeks after moving them to Georgia from Memphis Tennessee, my uncle was quarantined by himself in his assisted living and was absolutely miserable. I had just separated from my husband of 24 years, and my uncle and I needed each other more than ever. So, we decided to get a house together and I was able to fill his last 2 years of life with fun and excitement, but most of all love and companionship. I even got him to shoot the Hooch with me at 94 years old! I lost him in 2021, and deciding not to go back to teaching, I was on the hunt for my next entrepreneurial experience.
Early in 2024, while surfing Facebook one afternoon, I came across a franchise opportunity that piqued my interest because it was nothing like anything else I had seen, and my brain went crazy with the possibilities. I started thinking back to when my own 2 daughters grew up playing travel sports and the mounds of similar looking if not identical trophies we threw away when they finished. If Shrunk3D had existed back then, I could have watched my girls grow up with every team they played for and every uniform they sported, and I would have cherished every one of those memorable trophies instead of trashing them along with their old smelly uniforms. I decided that I wanted to offer other parents that opportunity, so I investigated SHRUNK 3D a little deeper. After seeing the quality and detail that these miniatures possessed, and meeting the amazing group of founders, I was hooked. It doesn’t get any more custom or personalized than this! SHRUNK 3D is everything I wanted in a business franchise and more. It is the future of photography and keepsake memories. No more sifting through books of flat fading photographs. Now, you can display your favorite people, pets, costumes, even celebrities in full color and vivid realistic detail. I look forward to shrinking you and your loved ones in and around East Cobb.
