Audrey Ward, Owner & Operator
Inspired by an eye for design, a passion for adventure and a problem to solve, Color My Ride was established in the weird void of Covid 19! Having just moved from the mountains of Vermont to the beaches of South Carolina, literally right before the world shut down, I bought my first Jeep.
Frustrated by the lack of colored trim options available, I spent my quarantine sourcing and painting Jeep parts! What started as a quest to solve a problem for myself, led me to find a niche that allows me to live a limitless life!
Not only do I experience the satisfaction of helping fellow Jeepers customize their dream Jeep, I am blessed to run a business while road tripping, camping, and exploring with my two pups Lucy and Totcho and my cat Bohdi. Best of all I get to meet lots of really awesome people that share my passion for colorful adventures!!
Journey to Color My Ride
Have you ever said to yourself or someone else "I'll never do ... or I'd never try ..."? Has the thought of doing something new and different seemed exciting but anxiety provoking at the same time?
Have you ever been pressed by life to shift directions unexpectedly and have no idea where to go/what to do next? I have, many times and in this blog you'll learn how obstacles and thoughts of "never" became opportunities and new ventures; my journey to Color My Ride
