In 2021, I launched a subcategory of my What More Can I Shay business, attending craft shows to sell handmade products I designed and created myself. It was rewarding to connect directly with customers and see their reactions to my work, but managing production, sales, and logistics as a solo maker was a lot to balance. After two years, I chose to shift my focus fully to the freelancing side of the business, where I could dedicate more time to custom design projects and brand collaborations.
