Personal Experiences of Starting A Crafting and Surface Pattern Design Business

I had a wonderful opportunity to talk with Design Suite members Tiffani Hawkins, Viveca Chenoweth, and Jennifer Burba in a live panel for the Design Suite Maker Conference about their design businesses, shops, and why they decided to start their own design businesses.

Every woman’s journey is unique, and their circumstances vary. For example, Viveca is retired and spends her time being creative and growing her shops. Tiffani, a passionate crafter, works full-time and builds her design business in the evenings and on weekends. Jennifer is a stay-at-home mom who’s also finishing her Bachelor’s degree (find out how many kids she has in the YouTube video).
