2016 Hello and Goodbye

Well a new year has come around again and with it come lots of new changes for my business. I'm moving on.

As you may already know, I have a brand spanking new website and with that comes a new blog/diary of my day to day goings on.

For many years I have written a lot about working within the creative industry and I've interviewed many, many inspirational designers who have all shared their knowledge and experience with me. Giving us all secret insider tips and much needed advice.

But now I've decided that it's time for me and for my business to grow. So I'm leaving this blog behind so that I can concentrate solely on designing and manufacturing my product.

However, I have decided not to close this blog as it really has helped many designers, new and experienced over the years. I've put all the blog posts together, so why not book mark this page and come back to it as and when you need to.

So grab a cuppa, delve in and hunt out some great tips and advice from the people who have been there, done that! Find out about licensing your work, trade shows, markets, selling online, getting published in magazines, building a website or just read these truly inspirational stories!

You can also purchase my own personal background story and tips on working within the creative industry.
