Interview with Meg Part 1
Rico:
What's Your Name?
Meg :
Rico:
List your shop(s) -
Meg :
Sporkful Designs
My shop name is inspired by sporks. Sporks have multiple uses as either a spoon or a fork. Many graphic design elements can be used for multiple items. I felt that the "Sporkful" name was catchy, fun and fitting. My shop is filled with a variety of products with many designs including the things I love: nature, humor, photography, funny sayings, Christian, holiday, pattern designs and more.
Rico:
How did you find Zazzle?
Meg :
I stumbled across Zazzle just randomly browsing the internet. It was love at first sight.
Rico:
How long have you been at Zazzle?
Meg :
My Zazzle store opened in June 2012.
Rico:
Are you a ProSeller?
If yes, how long from the time you open a shop until you made it to ProSeller?
Meg :
Yes, I became a ProSeller in January 2013, just 7 months after I opened.
Rico:
What made you decide to open your own store?
Meg :
I enjoy being creative. In the business world, I can be creative, but there's always some limitations. Sporkful Designs lets me create anything and whatever I feel like. It allows me to express my personal interests, hobbies and life experiences.
Rico:
What makes your shop stand out from the rest?
Meg :
My designs are perfected, because I am a perfectionist. I will work on something until it looks amazing. I design items from something that inspired me, take time to tweak it until everything is absolutely perfect.
Rico:
How would you describe your design style?
Meg :
Simplistic. I don't like lots of clutter and it shows both in my designs and in my house!
Rico:
What type of product do you prefer to design?
Meg :
I make my designs with t-shirts in mind, but I often put them on electronic cases, greeting cards, posters, magnets and other products.
Rico:
What's the best advise you got when you were starting out?
Meg :
Enjoy what you are doing and keep learning. It takes many hours, days and weeks to build a shop and add products before anyone will notice you, but you have to keep adding new products and designs. Also, it's important to keep learning. Trends are always changing, there's always something new on Zazzle and you can always keep improving your designs.
Rico:
What was your first Sale (include link)?
Meg :
A customized baby baptism creeper.
