90. Turn Doodles Into a Prosperous Sticker Business

Brita Lynn Thompson is the owner of Zenspire Designs. She sales vinyl stickers, prints, and creates custom orders of her illustrations that have a zentangle vibe. In June 2014, she was chosen out of 4,000 plus entries as the winner for Starbucks "White Cup Contest." The day before they announced her as the winner she created an Etsy shop. That summer her design was reproduced onto their reusable cups online and in every store in the US and Canada. Her dream of owning a business became a reality. After winning, she got a lot of publicity and recognition, specifically on her Instagram. Before winning, she had roughly 300 followers, and about a year later, she had around 39,400 followers. She kept up the momentum and now has over 97k followers. She ships her products all over the world via Etsy and has made a business selling stickers.    Show Notes: nachesnow.com/90
