I handle marketing and SEO for the promotion of my art and store. I also work with various manufacturers to create some of my products.My Star Catcher Brand is actually a lot younger than my overall self-run business - I started this brand in August 2020, but have been running an online store and participating at a vendor at art shows since 2012. I am very proud of my current brand's growth and reach during this time regardless of the trials that 2020 brought. Through running my own business I have also cultivated great manufacturing skills, connections, and know-how to bring my concepts to life! Using this brand I promote my merchandise and design/ freelancing servicesMy brand name, Star Catcher, was inspired by my own writings and artworks of the same theme. The whimsical and fantastical concept of catching a star and interacting with the cosmos is one I am often drawn to. Through my art and writing, I can investigate that dreamlike world where a star can fall to the earth, and its secrets can be explored! Overall, I am drawn to fun, colorful ideas like robots who love caring for their flower gardens or a blueberry ghost obsessed with stylish sneakers. Show less
