From side hustle to slightly bigger hustle!

Hello, lovely people! 🫶🏻

The last two weeks have been a lot!

At my job (I work as a product designer), we had a two-day-long Hackathon! It was two days of caffeine-fueled chaos, rapid-fire designing, and bonding with my lovely colleagues.
Honestly? It was kinda fun. Also kinda overwhelming… especially when you’ve only been at the company for three weeks. :,D

Between two coffee refills, I’ve I reached out to a Hungarian shop that exclusively sells handmade artwork and products from Hungarian artists. They are based in a lovely little town named Eger, and the shop itself is absolutely adorable!

So, drum roll please… From June 1st, I will officially have my own shelf there!! 💃🏻

I’ve already started sketching out the layout and planning which items I want to display. I’m even building my own stand, because the space is tiny, and most pre-made ones are either too bulky or waaay to expensive.

Here’s a little sneak peek of the prototype in progress:

I’m also working on some new items for my shop, here is a little sneak-peek of that too (as you can see, I had some troubles with printing on the bag at first, I’m not aiming for a grunge style, lol):

The stickers (and one of the bookmarks) you spotted in the pic are actually from my latest artwork, which I made for a #DTIYS challenge last week! ✨
It was one of those "just-for-fun" pieces, and I ended up really loving how it turned out, so, of course, now it’s making its way into the shop lineup too! ❤️

See you next time! 👋🏻

With love,
