Shelly Kim of Letters by Shells Aug 15, 2019

Show notes

Shelly Kim of Letters by Shells got her start as many of us do working on a side hustle passion while balancing a day job. Shelly’s adventure began because she wanted to decorate her cubicle with positive affirmations. Almost 300,000 Instagram followers and a new book called Digital Hand Lettering and Modern Calligraphy later, it’s safe to say she is doing something more than just lettering right.

Mark Montano - Making a Mark in the Craft Industry Jul 18, 2019

Show notes

If there was such a thing as a rock star of the craft world, Mark Montano would be my vote. Mark started as a fashion designer, transitioned into television, and has landed firmly in the DIY world where he uses ALL the skills. He has authored several books including his Big Ass Book series. Each week there is a new how-to video on his YouTube channel "Make Your Mark". After a dinner with Mark and our fabulous conversation about the business of being creative and the creativity behind running a business, I knew I had to get him on the Creative Queso podcast.
