Why did you apply for Project Pop-Up?
I applied for Project:Pop-up because, as a solo founder, the journey of building a brand can sometimes feel lonely and overwhelming. I’m working to share the unique jewelry I make and wear with the world, but I know there’s so much more to learn when it comes to growing a business. I’m excited by the idea of learning alongside a supportive community, with guidance from professionals who can help me turn my vision into something sustainable. We’re also exploring ways to establish a more permanent presence in the market, and participating in a pop-up feels like the perfect first step.
