Episode 118 – Finding Your Niche with Kit Cronk

As product makers, artists and designers, we often start out trying to make something for everyone, but there is a lot of power in niching down. Enter Kit Cronk. After finding her niche, Kit has created a flourishing brand with an active customer base. We are so excited to have her on the show to share her journey and the value she has found in taking the time to discover her true niche.

Kit runs Kit Cronk Studio, where she designs products for book nerds and fangirls.  Her products have been featured by companies like Etsy, GoodReads, Buzzfeed, and more. If you’re a total reading addict like Kit, then you need to check out her hilariously relatable mugs, cards, pins, and other awesome stuff! When she’s not working, you’ll probably find her reading ANOTHER fantasy book or watching superhero movies.

Episode 117 – Manufacturing and Designing a Product with Nicole Ketchum

Episode 116 - Local Market Prep Part 2
<

Taking a product from idea to the shelves can be daunting especially if it has to be manufactured. We wanted to talk to someone who has been in the trenches so on today’s episode we are chatting with Nicole Ketchum of Hey Girl Decor. Nicole tells us all about how her chandeliers came to be and the process it took to get them manufactured overseas.

About Nicole

Hi I’m Nicole, Founder and Designer of Hey Girl Decor, formally Chandelier By NK. Hey Girl Decor is a modern acrylic decor company — founded in 2014.

It started as an idea to create an easy, chic chandelier without lights. The idea of making a chandelier and then flipping it on it’s head and redefining it was so much fun!

Our mission statement is simple: We take designing seriously — but don’t think decor should be serious.

We are currently scaling our brand, with the goal of retailers for licensing opportunities, and rolling out a new name and logo next week.
