In today’s video I’ll you you my process of starting a small art business and how I prepared and set up an online shop for my art and handmade pieces without any experience.

I’ve been dreaming about this for so long and it was so nice to see the project slowly taking shape. I was happy to be able to put all my remaining time and energy in there, despite my bachelor project and job, and I’m very proud of myself that I somehow managed to make it happen, even if it sometimes seemed to be utopian in the middle of it. So I’m happy to finally share my new portfolio and online store with you. They were made with love!

For now, the store will only run on the side, but i'll let myself be surprised where it leads me. I've noticed, that working on this is the one thing that hasn't drained me so far, despite the amount of work that has been necessary. On the contrary – I've been able to draw a lot of strength from it, which shows how much I burn for it!
