Today, I’m celebrating a year of starting as a surface pattern designer. It was a wonderful journey as I learned the ins and outs of this growing business. No, I can’t live on it yet! But hopefully someday. When I look back, the best thing was being able to start it and it seems like I’m up for it to continue. Receiving an email from an online shop asking me to join them was also one of the highlights of this one year. They discovered one of my illustrations on Instagram. Also, someone from the US bought 60 pieces of coasters! Here are photos from a year ago. And again, thanks to all who supported my art!
