The Story of How Not Soppy Store Came To Be 🙂
After a tumultuous 2 years which involved a divorce, becoming a full-time single parent and being made redundant twice, I was forced into a complete change of direction in life.
Armed with nothing but a sarcastic sense of humour and a stubborn streak, I decided to use my 20 years Graphic Design experience and dived headfirst into designing products to sell on Etsy.
I'm extremely proud of the small business I've built up over time which allows me to maintain a good work/life balance while also indulging my creative, sarcastic side. I especially love hearing the stories behind the very random products people ask me to make!
As a business I try to be as environmentally conscious as possible and I'm currently switching over all of our badges to have metal backs instead of plastic, PLA badge covers (which are made from corn starch or sugar cane) as well as using fully recyclable packaging.
And lastly, why are we called Not Soppy Store? Because when I worked in the Wedding industry as a stationery designer, a good friend commented "I just can't picture you working in this industry, you're not soppy, you..." 🙂
