6. starting a business
What advice do you have for someone starting a small / side creative business?
My biggest piece of advice: just start! You can dream and plan all you want, but it's all in the execution and following through your ideas. Stick through it when you feel discouraged and you'll be surprised at what comes from it :)

I love chatting with other small business owners and creatives! With that said, most people that reach out have similar questions, so the best way to learn about my background is to listen to the podcast on this page and then read my blog posts. After that, I'm happy to chat through any more questions you have! Shoot me an email to connect.
Where do you get your products printed / made?
Finding partners is definitely a process and with all our products, we always test multiple vendors we find to see the best fit for what we're specifically looking for. I'd recommend reaching out to local vendors to find out more about their factory, process, and prices!
Why don't you do Pickles full time?
I have loved every job I've had; I've learned so many skills in each role (many of which I've applied to Pickles!) and I've met some amazing coworkers and mentors. I admire those who take their creative businesses full-time, but that's not something that has appealed to me more than the corporate 9-5 (at least so far!) in my life.
