Always creating more.
Our story is not that unique.
It shares many similarities with other small businesses; starting with a hobby, a passion and skill that develops gets shared and offered to others.
Designs In The Making goes as follows:
1. I wanted to give a friend a gift that was something personal and truly fitting to them. They had moved into a new place and wanted to decorate their walls with things that had meaning to them.
2. Being creative I designed something, printed it out, framed it and gave it to them.
3. Naturally being proud of what I made, I showed my design to friends and family.
4. With that they began asking for their own for either themselves or to give to others.
5. Why not set up an Etsy store?
This is where I believe our true story begins though.
As creative, I am someone who likes to overly organise and prepare, trying to make sure something is perfect before I share my work, inevitably delaying for as long as possible. Perhaps that’s why I thrived with university work because I had a deadline.
This is where I came up with ‘Designs In The Making’.
I want to always be creating more and developing my store.
No pressure to have a whole collection of designs to list on Etsy in order to go live.
No need for a finalised logo, banner and branding that I must choose now and it has to be that forever.
Instead, let it be a work in progress.
Expand and develop as my skills do so.
Evolve and add new designs as and when the ideas and inspirations come.
So, welcome to Designs In The Making and watch its journey begin.
