Day 2 – March Meet The Maker 2019 – How It All Started

I have always had a passion for design, I have GCSE’s and A-Levels in Product Design and Art and studied Industrial Design at Northumbria University. Whilst at uni I went on a work placement as a Graphic Designer at Rethinkthings Ltd where I helped out with photography, website design and catalogue design. The whole experience really helped shape who I am today, I learnt a lot about how to run a small business and after being encouraged by Ilsa (the owner of Rethinkthings), I started to create my own illustrations and sold them through Red Bubble whilst at uni. Once I had graduated from university I decided to put all my time into TeePee Creations and this is when I started printing and making my products from home.
