My greatest inspiration as an entrepreneur is my grandmother. For as long as I can remember, she has been running booths and selling her antiques to people of every demographic. Growing up, I would spend time with her over the summers, and during that time I would help her with her business - pricing, organizing, display designing, etc. - which imprinted upon me a business mindset.
Her business spirit passed on to me, as in early 2019 I finally opened a business of my own. I started with only creating custom pet portraits. While my love for animals knows no bounds, I quickly expanded beyond just the portraits, dipping into some of my other great passions: crocheting and sewing. I started making scrunchies, and then headbands, then hats and scarves and blankets and mittens and baskets and just anything I can make.
I've been blessed to have my hobbies turn into something which I can support myself on. It wouldn't have been possible without the incredible people I've met along the way who have supported me both financially and emotionally. Thank you!
