Shop Selfmade

Designing Unique Gifts and Building a Successful Brand

In 2020, I founded Shop Selfmade, a business where I designed and sold unique gifts and homewares. From product design to customer service, packaging, and marketing, I managed every aspect of the business, blending creativity with practical business skills to create a brand that truly resonated with its audience.

Over its lifetime, Shop Selfmade achieved impressive milestones: completing more than 2,500 orders, earning over 250 five-star reviews, and building a highly engaged community of 1,500 Instagram followers. In 2021, it gained recognition as a seller on Not On The High Street and was featured in Stylist Magazine, highlighting its unique appeal and quality.

Running Shop Selfmade gave me hands-on experience in not only graphic design but also business management, customer engagement, and strategic marketing. It showcased my ability to combine creative ideas with effective business strategies, resulting in a successful, well-regarded brand that I’m incredibly proud of.
