The year 2020 was wild and challenging but grounding too.
It was unlike any other year I’ve experienced in my life. On May 1st 2020 I launched my website, while taking all photos with my Samsung 8, editing and writing copy.
I became fully invested in all areas of being a full-time artist.
I learned that being a solopreneur is that you have to be all things. So not only am I an artist, trying to improve my craft and create beautiful work, but I am also a bunch of other things like:
Website designer
Product developer
Shipping manager
Inventory manager
Photographer
Copywriter
Editor
Managing entire marketing department
Brand designer
Customer service representative
Bookkeeper
Social media manager
Advertising department
Also, since then, I created 7 collections that I am proud of:
And believe me running a small business is a crazy huge amount of work and every day brings new challenges. But, wow, is it rewarding to see it grow and have a community of amazing, loving, kind people support me every little step of the way. In the process I learned why it really does matter to support small businesses.
I love what I do. As a small business don’t get me wrong and every day, I am still in complete gratitude and awe that this is my work.
The remaining of this year, 2021, I hope to regain focus in my work, and find more inspiration again!!!
