We had the good fortune of connecting with Sheilah Mullen and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Sheilah, what is the most important factor behind your success?
Someone once said,
“Your smile is your logo.
Your personality is your business card.
How you leave others feeling after an interaction becomes your trademark” and that stuck with me.
And also remembering that key to great design is capturing the spirit of the client and the essence of the space.

What should our readers know about your business?
Starting my own business I believe, would have to be the biggest risk I’ve ever taken in life, diving in head first, there is no getting your feet wet before hand. If I was going to do it, I was going in at 150% , I did not want to be the same as everyone else or afraid of being different, I did not want to miss out on something that could be amazing just because it could also be difficult.
It takes a lot of focus and extreme discipline but felt so good when it finally happened, the moment your name is out there and your work is recognized and speaks for itself. I have built a great clientele base and most of them are repeat clients, some I have created great bonds or friendships with. All I have to say is, if your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
A lot of my friends are wine lovers, and one of my favorite places is Château Elan right outside Atlanta. Thai cuisine is one of my favorites as well and Atlanta and Midtown has some great places, like Thai 26 and Snap Fish House. And as a theater buff shows at the beautiful Fox Theatre, and a burger at the Vortex! There are so many great places around Atlanta, and most of my friends and family are foodies, and I’m sure I would never run out of options.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
The encouragement of my family, especially my children, and the immense support of friends and loyal clients, who believed in my talent and appreciating my hard work, my passion and dedication to every project.
