An
integral part of any business, no matter what the size,
is to understand the financial metrics that reveal
whether a business is profitable. The ability to read a
financial statement, figure margin and mark-up, and
determine the profitability of a project is necessary
for any business. Her desire is that through this
series, each of you will become as passionate about the
business side of your company as you are the design
side. Both are necessary to find success. She has been

always been a passion. Shelley has taught high school
and many classes over the years, which include, fashion,
design, marketing, sales, window fashions, and business
development.

Master’s degree in Family
and Consumer Sciences. Shelley has also achieved a

Credential from the state of California. Her experience
