. . .

Customers ask me why my business is called Hutton Hill Designs.

The answer is not as simple as it seems. In fact, it was almost names something else.

. . .

My original design business was called Studio K.

I wanted the 'K' because I've been correcting the spelling of 'Kerry' for my whole life. Even my husband (new boyfriend at the time) wondered why I wore a 'K' necklace instead of 'C' because he thought my name was spelled 'Carrie'.

. . .

When I began this latest creative venture though, I wanted something new.

I had an online username of 'Turtle Hill'. It was just a whimsical name, and I liked how it sounded. So that was it. I got excited and went ahead and created a logo, and a business card, and then searched the name to register the business.

Unfortunately, that name was taken (Arrgh!) and I couldn't use it. So I needed an alternative.

Driving home one night, I realized the answer was right in front of me. 😎

We live on Hutton Hill Road.

I searched the name 'Hutton Hill Designs, and it was available.

Perfect!

Now I love my business name.
