Background of Saier

Saier is more than a community — it is a lifestyle designed to cultivate creativity, curiosity and intentional living. Built on faith, sustained by a relationship with God, Saier exists to inspire growth, slow down the pace of everyday life and nurture the passions and hobbies that make each person unique.

This lifestyle is for anyone seeking meaningful experiences and intentional connection. Whether you want to try a new craft, explore a hobby or simply immerse yourself in creativity… Saier provides the structure, encouragement and inspiration to make it a natural part of everyday life.

Saier envisions a world where creativity, faith and connection are woven into daily living. It grows through thoughtful environments — from letters sent to your home, to future gatherings in a social club, to durable- inspiring keepsakes and a thriving community of members who share curiosity, creativity and purpose. Saier seeks to be part of every home, guiding moments of reflection, exploration and intentional living.

The crane is apart of Saier — a symbol of grace, curiosity and mindful living. It reminds us to slow down, move with intention, and approach each creative endeavor with care. With its elegance and strength, the crane represents endurance and lasting impact, reflecting our desire to create experiences, letters, and keepsakes that inspire for years to come.

More than just a symbol, the crane embodies freedom, discovery, and the joy of exploration. It encourages us to soar beyond the ordinary, to nurture curiosity and to embrace the beauty of growth and creation. Saier celebrates a lifestyle where creativity, faith and connection are ever-present, guiding members toward meaningful experiences and thoughtful living — The crane serving as it’s muse.

Sometimes obedience begins not with certainty but with the willingness to stop, listen and trust God with what comes next. I didn’t have clarity, direction, or a five-year plan… only the growing awareness that the way I was living was no longer aligned with who I was becoming.

In April 2025, I made a leap of faith and quit my job, which I had been working from home. While the flexibility of remote work existed… the pressure, routine, and mental weight remained. Each day felt heavy — ending the night knowing I would wake up and clock back into work that brought anxiety and exhaustion. I longed for a life where my time felt intentional, where creativity had room to breathe and where I could actually enjoy the life God had given me.

At the time, my mindset was very different from what it is now. Before, I relied solely on myself — working long hours without rest and constantly pushing for progress, just trying to make money and survive. Quitting my job and stepping into the unknown forced me to shift. I had to learn that I couldn’t build my life by relying solely on myself. I had to become God-reliant — learning to partner with Him instead of trying to figure everything out at once and on my own. This lesson went far beyond business — it began to touch every part of my life. I was constantly reminded to invite God into every decision and every moment, rather than keeping Him on the side. Over time, relying on Him began to replace the constant striving I had been used to and I started to experience a sense of clarity and peace that I hadn’t known before.

At first, my focus was practical. I created an LLC with the intention of replacing my income through rental cars and vending machines. I wasn’t trying to build a vision or create a lifestyle — I was simply trying to make things work. I also asked God to be my business partner, but He had other plans. Real estate was something I had been circling around for years. I had mentors, toured properties, watched before-and-after flips… I had people cheering me on and willing to support my growth. Still, I was never fully committed. I put off obligations and opportunities to grow, and eventually, I no longer had the desire or drive to keep showing up. That was difficult to understand because this was something I had believed I wanted for so long. Looking back, I can see that it wasn’t a lack of opportunity or support — it was a lack of alignment. I was forcing myself toward paths that made sense on paper but didn’t match what God was forming within me.

During this time, I spent many days at home… jobless, uncertain, and often hard on myself. I expected clarity overnight. I expected myself to have it all together. Instead, I had to learn how to slow down! Be intentional and call on God at every step. Each time I did, He revealed something new. Perspective replaced pressure. Stillness replaced striving.

To make use of the time I now had, I spent days exploring downtown. As I walked, I would stop and look at storefronts and the same thought kept coming to me: I could use this space for a social club. The thought followed me from storefront to storefront — until I came across one in particular that made me want to take action. Nervous and unsure, I decided to call the leasing manager. I didn’t have a plan or confidence in my business knowledge, but I trusted God to guide me. That first call was transformative. It stretched me beyond my comfort zone, taught me to face my anxiety, and became the first domino in a chain of events that would slowly bring the vision for Saier to life.

From that conversation, I connected with a business mentor who helped me shape a legal business plan. That mentor helped me bring structure and clarity to what Saier could become. Step by step, with God’s guidance, things began to take shape — not perfectly and definitely not easily but with purpose and intention. That domino effect showed me that obedience and trust could turn a simple idea into something real.

Around this same time, I spent hours listening to sermons, prayers, and mindset teachings from people who believed in God and applied their faith to business — one of the most impactful being Myron Golden. These teachings not only challenged me to think bigger but expand my perspective and recognize what God had already been placing on my heart.

Meanwhile, Saier was being built quietly — in Pinterest boards, notebooks, presentation slides and journal pages. But more importantly, it was being built in the waiting, in the boredom and in the longing for creativity and community that I couldn’t find anywhere else. It was being built as God continued to remind me to be still…to slow down and to trust the process.

In reflection, I began to see how God had been forming this vision in my heart long before I had words for it. From childhood hobbies that once brought me joy, to adulthood, where I deeply felt their absence — everything began to point back to the same truth: I didn’t need to find my purpose. I needed to discover what God had already been placing within me and prepare myself for it through learning and most importantly…accepting the assignment. Saier is the result of that process. It is not rushed. It is not forced. It is a lifestyle being built through faith, alignment, and obedience — a way of living that creates space for creativity, community, curiosity, and connection, rooted in God and lived out daily.

Saier exists because faith was chosen over certainty, alignment over convenience and obedience over urgency. And it continues to grow the same way it began — one step at a time, in partnership with God. 

This is still an ongoing process. Some days are easier than others and I’m still learning what it means to slow down, listen, trust, and take the next step without needing to know everything that comes after it. No matter how many breaks I take or how uncertain the path may feel, I always find my way back to Saier. And that’s what I hope this space can offer you, too — a place to slow down, explore, create, connect, and live more intentionally. Saier isn’t only for people who believe in God or identify as Christian. It’s for anyone who feels called to create more space for a fuller way of living. You don’t have to have everything figured out to begin. Sometimes, you just have to be willing to take the next step.

From the heart of the founder,

Tia.
