I work a full time job as an Executive Assistant, and I was looking for something to do with my time after work at night to keep myself busy and my mind stress free, so I started crafting a little bit and starting painting wood signs. I started posting what I was making, and was getting great feedback and friends and family wanting to buy the items I was making and starting requesting customized signs. With that, I created my Etsy shop and was making a lot of custom orders. I made a Long Island Home sign, and was overwhelmed by the positive feedback it received. I then trademarked the design, and August of 2017 I started selling apparel with my design. My brand is expanding, in three boutiques, sold online and hoping to expand further within the next 6 months. All of this wouldn't be possible without the help of my dad and boyfriend, they are cutting the wood I need for my orders in their spare time, and always giving me advice on how to take this little side job to the next level.
