From packaging to Etsy: A graphic designer's journey to rediscovering his artistic passion.
Hello and welcome! Salam Khan here. I have always been fascinated with art because it has the ability to connect and communicate without any words. As a child I started to draw at any medium on which I get my hands on. This passion led me in getting my degree in graphic designing. After graduation I thought that I’ll enjoy working as I had studied what I love the most but my ill-fate accompanied me working in a packaging company where labels, boxes, cards, tags and other packaging items are printed for different businesses. In 2016, while working, I saw a label which had a link to an etsy store. I didn’t know what etsy was so when I came home I searched for it and then the rest is history. I got so engaged with this platform and the inner artist in me was telling me continuously to push my limits and give it a try. It was not an easy decision as I had no idea about running an Etsy store, therefore I learned side by side with my job. When I had completely understood about it, I decided to go with the name “Subtle Templates” for my store mal. Since I was working in packaging company, I had a lot of ideas in my mind and hence I decided that I’ll make templates for several businesses’ labels and tags. My store also has various businesses’ branding kits, cards and bundles which are of great help for small business owners. I am trying my best to come up with unique designs for my unique customers and I am very satisfied with the good comments from my valuable customers. If you want a custom product, please don’t hesitate and message me. I’ll be very grateful.
