Today we’d like to introduce you to Ellie Soleimanpour
Hi Ellie, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
It all started in my childhood when my brother sparked my fascination with colors and painting. This early exposure to art planted the seeds of creativity within me, which eventually blossomed into a passion for event decoration.
As I grew older, I found myself captivated by the intricate details of event setups and food table designs. Small gatherings with friends and family became my playground for experimenting with different themes and arrangements. However, it wasn’t until I helped a close friend with her wedding setup and designed my own engagement party that I truly realized my calling.
Seeing someone’s vision come to life and witnessing the joy it brought them was incredibly fulfilling. That’s when I decided to turn my passion into a business. Despite juggling a full-time job in the tech industry, I was determined to pursue my dreams.
With the unwavering support of my fiancé, I took the leap and founded my own event decoration service. His belief in my talent and encouragement gave me the strength and courage to pursue my dreams while balancing the demands of a full-time job. My goal was clear from the start – to alleviate the stress of event planning for my clients while bringing their dreams to life within their budget.
Starting from humble beginnings, my business has grown steadily through word-of-mouth and client referrals. Each event I undertake is a testament to my dedication and passion. Whether it’s a small gathering or a lavish affair, I approach each project with the same level of enthusiasm and attention to detail.
Today, I am proud to say I have carved out a niche for myself in the event decoration industry, thanks to the support of my clients and my unwavering belief in my vision. Looking ahead, I am excited to continue creating unforgettable experiences for my clients and turning their dreams into reality.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Building my event decoration business has been incredibly rewarding, but it hasn’t been without its challenges. One of the biggest hurdles has been gaining visibility within the community and establishing my brand amidst larger, more established businesses. It required creative marketing strategies and leveraging social media to showcase my unique offerings and connect with potential clients.
Balancing my entrepreneurial endeavors with a full-time job in the tech industry posed another significant challenge. However, through effective time management and prioritization, I’ve been able to carve out dedicated time for business planning, client consultations, and project execution. It’s been a learning process, but finding that balance has been crucial to the sustainability of both my career and my business.
Additionally, starting with a small budget meant that every expense had to be carefully considered, making resourcefulness essential. While this may have slowed down the initial growth, it taught me valuable lessons in financial management and encouraged creative problem-solving.
Overall, while the road hasn’t always been smooth, each obstacle has presented an opportunity for growth and learning. Overcoming these challenges has allowed me to build a resilient and thriving business.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?

If we knew you growing up, how would we have described you?
Growing up, I was a curious and creative individual, always eager to explore new ideas and activities. Personality-wise, I was both analytical and artistic, enjoying a blend of technical challenges and creative projects. I had a keen interest in art and design, often expressed through painting and crafting elaborate decorations for family events. Simultaneously, I was drawn to technology and problem-solving, which eventually led me to study cybersecurity.
My fascination with colors, themes, and intricate details in event setups was balanced by my methodical approach to understanding how things work, a trait essential in my cybersecurity career. This unique combination of interests has allowed me to excel in both fields, bringing a structured, detail-oriented mindset to my event decoration business while maintaining a creative edge.
