Shop Name: The Tiny Fig Handmade Gifts & AccessoriesWhat you like to go by: My real name is Connie. Everyone crafty refers to me as Tiny Fig.
When did you start your shop? I started my shop back in the summer of 2007 as a hobby. My Etsy shop was an experimental thing that did so well it never ended.
Is this your only job? Yes, I do Etsy and craft shows full time along with wholesale. It keeps me quite busy!
When did you realize you had this talent? Hmm, probably 9th grade when I
took my first graphics class and fell in love with design.Where do you find your inspiration? I usually draw inspiration from events or things I experience daily in life. Ex: I get quite obsessed with food and love to incorporate that into my work.
Who has been the most supportive of your work? My entire family. My mom, dad and sister are all very supportive in helping me produce, package, work at shows and ship orders. Not sure what I’d do without them!
What is one thing you would like to accomplish that you haven't yet? I’d love to have a studio space someday. Somewhere I can work without having to clean up, somewhere that has good lighting and space for both creating and practicing photography.
What are your words to live by or favorite quote? Fight like you’ve already won.
