It feels a little strange writing this blog, as I’m not a working parent just yet. But something I love about TDP is that we are supported as working parents, but are also supported on our journey to parenthood. A journey I’ve been on for the past 1.5 years –...
Can I tell you a secret? I refer to every job that I'm in as my 'dream job'. I call every job my dream job because I truly believe that each role teaches you something you need to know for the next step. That might look like starting your own side...

We shared on our Instagram account recently that in early December our TDP Instagram account got hacked, and myself and our Studio Manager went head to head with people who were actively trying to get the account off of us. Â *an important n.b? When I say...

 Get ready to set your social media goals for 2021! Ah 2021… it can’t come fast enough #amIright?! What a year 2020 has been. One thing that’s been proven this past year, is that social media is not going anywhere and when the world came crashing down,...
