Using my love for art and photography, I was abl‍‍‍e to brand my art and generate strong interest across social media channels as well as an important online presence on the online marketplace Etsy.

ROLE

Creative Director
Illustrator
Designer‍‍‍

2015-Current

Under the brand AKARTS, I started to focus towards illustrations in summer 2015. By February 2016, I opened an online store selling canvases and prints of my art. A year later, I expanded with phone cases, posters, and clothing. Designed for months, and sample tested profusely, I handled everything from A to Z taking my time to make sure everything was top notch.

Reddit Love

‍‍‍‍‍‍I sort of went viral on Reddit after a customer showed appreciation for my T-shirt after his girlfriend had gifted it to him for Christmas.

I saw a huge spike in sales following the post.
