THE FIERY BUTTERFLY
The butterfly is a symbol of change and evolution. As business owners, we evolve and transform ugly problems into much needed solutions, creating something beautiful the world needs. Most people think we’re crazy and don’t understand the relentless mindset and work ethic it takes to build something from nothing. Entrepreneurs work tirelessly for reasons greater than ourselves. Much like the butterfly, we morph into something beautiful with a resilience only other butterflies understand.
“I’m Going To Fly” Said The Caterpillar. Everyone Laughed, Except The Butterflies.
THE SPARK BEHIND FIREDUP
PATRICIA M. HERNANDEZ

As she got older, this experience motivated Patty to help other hard-working entrepreneurs avoid the pitfalls and struggles that her mom faced.
Patty received her education in Marketing, Entrepreneurial Management, and Commercial Spanish from DePaul University in Chicago. This led Patty on a career path of assisting businesses with growth and development. In this “do it all yourself” environment, she become a bridge between business and creative.
With over 18 years of experience in business development, 21 years as a graphic designer, and 14 years as a web designer, Patty established FiredUp Creative, LLC to provide custom creative and business support for entrepreneurs.
In her free time, Patty enjoys various creative pursuits such as crafting, photography, and videography. Her passion for assisting others to achieve success and make a positive impact fuels her drive to help entrepreneurs succeed. She fuels her inspiration with chocolate, laughter, and naps.
