I started out on Etsy in 2008 under my buyer name "ZigaHelen". Back then you couldn't change your shop name and, frankly, it was awful. The shop did well but I felt strongly that I needed a better brand.

I thought and thought and thought... Well, I am "crafty" - smart and good with image. And, the work I sell are "graphics". Hence, the birth of CraftyGraphics.

My goal is to design really good and specific marketing collateral for Etsy shops, especially ones starting out. Getting a business going is not easy and with my business and design acumen I've been able to help out a lot of shops, while also earning a profit. We're all here to earn some extra cash or run a full-time business.

There's no sense in saying that I'm doing this as a hobby, I'm not. Would you want a hobbyist designer helping you out anyway?
