Rochester, NH – Megan Dionne works as a full-time firefighter for the Dover Fire Department, but COVID-19 has left her with a lot of free time on her days off. Little did she know, letting her creative juices flow would lead to a blossoming business via her new Facebook page, Dionne Designs.
In just 8 days, Dionne’s Facebook group gained 461 members, and she sold 50+ creations. “I literally glued a rock to a piece of paper [and] drew two lines for legs and an eye with permanent marker,” she explained of her first creation, “I started thinking it might be cool to make a little picture for my family, so I did. I showed my workout group online and they were blown away and asked if I could make them one, and then it just snowballed from there.”
The workout group Dionne referred to contains some of her biggest supporters of her new endeavor, including Kim Gibson. “I met Megan about a year ago at Athletic Instinct, the gym I am a member [at]. I have always known her to be a happy person with a kind heart but I had no idea how creative she is,” Gibson said. Gibson ordered a gift for a teacher from Dionne.
One of the shining qualities of Dionne Designs is that every piece of art Dionne creates is unique. “I just use whatever I found in nature on [a given] day,” Dionne said. She gets a multitude of specific requests, such as creations with rock climbing, yoga, cacti, and more, but she’s always up for the challenge.
Dionne is still accepting orders, and you can find Dionne Designs exclusively on Facebook.
