Shop Selfmade

In 2020, I started my own business, Shop Selfmade, where I designed and sold unique gifts and homewares. I oversaw every aspect of the business, from initial product concepts and design to directly handling customer service, packaging orders, and developing marketing strategies. Such involvement gave me a comprehensive understanding of how to combine creativity with practical business skills.

Shop Selfmade achieved significant milestones, successfully completing over 2500 orders and maintaining a high standard with over 250 5-star reviews. At its most active, the business had more than 1500 highly engaged Instagram followers, demonstrating my ability to connect with and cultivate a dedicated audience. In 2021, Shop Selfmade was recognized by being accepted as a seller on Not On The High Street, and it also received acknowledgment in Stylist Magazine.

Managing Shop Selfmade provided me with invaluable experience, not just in graphic design, but also in business management, customer relations, and strategic marketing.
