Hello, World. I’m launching this thing out into the Universe as a way to have a little corner of the web that is just mine. A place to express myself and share the creative projects I am quietly working on behind the scenes. I want this to be a personal space where I can be honest and share how I am navigating my life as it unfolds. My goal would be that people who can relate to my journey or find inspiration it in would follow along here. 

 

Okay, so let’s do a little intro since I hope it’s not just my Mom reading this blog. 😉

 

I’m Makenzi Ross, I turn 40 years old next month, and I live in the mountains of Asheville, NC. I’ve been married for right at 3 years to the best guy I know——Mr. Ross Ryan. We met on Bumble, fell in love during a global pandemic, got married twice, bought a cabin in the woods, started a company at our dining room table in August 2021, and here we are. Ryan and I co-founded Good Hike Realty together, which is a residential real estate brokerage that services all of Western North Carolina. Being a husband and wife team, working together every single day, and growing a company together is not for everyone, but it really works for us and we love working alongside one another. We’ve been able to grow our company from zero to over half a million in revenue in just 2.5 years——and we’re just getting started. I’m so proud of how far we’ve come and I know I’ll share lots of that continued journey here.

 

My real zone of genius is interior design and renovating properties. You can check out my design work here. When I’m designing, I am in complete flow, totally energized, and laser focused. I have a new project I am beginning on soon and I’ll absolutely share all of that here, as well as on my Instagram, so make sure to follow along for all the before and afters.

 

Okay, I think that’s all I’ll share for now. I want to dive deeper into some topics, but I believe those warrant their own posts, so I’ll save those for later. Thank you for being here and I hope you’ll stick around.

 

xx,

Makenzi
