THE EMERGING ENTREPRENEUR

Vision boards are a physical manifestation of dreams and goals and are meant to serve as a reminder of who you are and where you wish to be. A young entrepreneur is working to help you bring life to your vision.

A 16-year-old Charlotte native is helping others visualize and manifest their goals in an artsy, yet meaningful way.

Kiera Pearson is the founder of Framing-You, a project where she helps others create the perfect vision board.

“Framing-You gives people something they can cherish and look at as a reminder of all the great things they have in their life,” said Pearson.

Pearson first began the art of vision boards in 8th grade. The vision board, however, was not for her. She created the manifesting tool for a teacher as a way to show them her appreciation.

In the beginning, Pearson says she made little collages in her notebook and then put them in frames.

“My favorite part about my business is that I can express my creativity and also make people happy at the same time,” Pearson said.

When making these boards, Pearson said she uses materials from Michaels and Hobby Lobby, alongside other things from different craft stores.

“I wouldn’t say there are steps to making a vision board or a collage. The basic materials are a picture frame and a blank background. You can go to any store and get stickers or markers, print out pictures, and just throw them together into something you really like,” Pearson said.

The vision boards Pearson creates are for everyone.

“I usually do vision boards for anyone. College students, families, children, people who would like to look at something positive at work just to a whole community really. I usually meet people face to face, and if they would like one I would make it for them because I see it as a truly personal gift,” Pearson said
