bd imaging - brianna derro's world of all things artsy!
Creativity & Growth within a worldwide pandemic 💛
As many people experienced, I was laid off from my conventional jobs during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. I utilized this time to explore my creativity skills. I spent hours at a time drawing and creating bold designs.
In July of 2020 I began selling digital prints of my art on Etsy. From there, I discovered how to have my designs printed onto high quality reusable face masks! It was surreal to see that people were interested in wearing my art on their faces. It may not be the best way to describe it, but I think it is the most realistic.
Around September of 2020, I began to learn about various crystals & gemstones as well as the art of jewelry making. Overtime the skills grew exponentially to create various gemstone themed jewelry.
A year into creating this Etsy shop, I am well over 500 sales and am in awe of all of the love and support. I never would have imagined a terrifying pandemic could create a silver lining to explore creative outlets.
Now, bd imaging is a combination of a wedding photography business (now that I am actually able to photograph again!) as well as a handmade accessory shop. I am so grateful to have been able to spend time building a small business that I truly love.
