It's been a few weeks since I launched Studio JG, and while the website might be live, it definitely doesn't feel like the finish line. If anything, it feels like the beginning.
Here's what I've been working on since launching…
Little thank yous
One of my favourite things I've done is designing some little keyrings to include with the first few orders from the new website. I wanted those first customers to receive a little extra thank you for supporting this new chapter.
Packing orders in my new branding
After months of planning, seeing orders come through and packing them in my new packaging still feels a little surreal. It's one of those moments that reminds me why I spent so long getting everything just right.
PR boxes... with a twist
Instead of sending PR boxes to influencers, I decided to put together thoughtful gifts for some of my friends and family who have supported Studio JG from the very beginning.
They weren't extravagant, but they were personal. I chose products that reminded me of each person, which felt like the perfect reflection of what Studio JG is all about.
New ideas becoming new products
Some of my favourite new prints started as little thoughts in my Notes app. One in particular resonated with so many people online that I knew I had to turn it into something tangible.
Thinking like a business owner
Behind the scenes, I've also been doing the less fun jobs…
I've reviewed my pricing, created my first wholesale catalogue, and started making a list of dream stockists (now I just need to be brave enough to email them!).
They're not the most exciting tasks, but they're helping me build the kind of business I want Studio JG to become.
