Tell us a little about your team

I am the only team member, more like a one woman show. Being a small growing business, I aim at minimizing cost so I manage to do all the work myself. In the near future I hope to get more team players as the business grows.

Share a little about your entrepreneurial journey. And do you come from an entrepreneurial background?

I don’t have an entrepreneurial background but I had always wanted to be an entrepreneur. I never thought I’d be starting a company relating to crafting since I only did it as a hobby.

What are your future plans and aspirations for your company?

In the near future I hope to take the fashion industry to a whole new level where handmade accessories and clothing are appreciated. At the moment I am based online but I plan on starting up a craft shop where I can showcase my products, teach, and sell the raw materials for any kind of art/craft.
