Christa is a teacher, wife, and mom of two little girls. With a busy life, it was hard to get in time for herself. She knew she wanted a creative outlet to balance the everyday hustle and bustle.

Nikita is the owner and designer behind Kitaleigh. In 2011 she decided she needed a side gig to help nurture her creative side - previously she had worked in Medical Bill review, so she started a side gig only making physical items but that quickly morphed into more digital graphics once she saw the flexibility and freedom these had to offer. By 2014 Nikita had replaced her day job income and was able to transition to selling digital designs full time from home. More recently, Nikita's business has done so well that she was able to bring her husband home from his job and has now replaced BOTH incomes selling digital designs on several platforms! Hear how Nikita and her husband are now their own bosses and live the life of freedom they always dreamed of.
