About Weeks
I am a former investment banker with a Master's in Landscape Architecture who turned a hobby into a business so I could work with my husband and have a family-friendly career. I'm happy to advise any veterans who are interested in starting a business. In business for 16 years, I'm currently working on our 7th book. We design fabric sold worldwide and publish a magazine independently that is shipped to 26 countries. How can I help you?
