Tell us about yourself

It was after my mom had passed, and I simply started creating designs to process all of it. It was only after people began DMing me to see if they’d be able to buy these shirts that I finally started my Shopify store. Ever since then, I’ve been motivated by creating new designs and the love and tranquility nature brings.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

I’d have to say my first sale because it’s always difficult to create a business, but the first customer told me I was doing something right.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

I’ve never been one to post a whole lot on my personal social media pages, so it was a change when I realized I was going to have to share more.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

1. Do something you love.
2. Never stop learning.
3. Be ever persistent in your goals.
