Do you ever feel like your business is a copy and paste version of someone else's? I felt that way in the beginning too. As if I were an imposter and selling fake art. My question for you is - How do you set yourself apart from other calligraphers in your area and build a truly authentic business Meet Jessica from Alcove Calligraphy, a calligraphy engraver based in Northern California. When she first joined The Craft Academy, she asked, “Should I talk about my Latin Heritage or should I keep it separate from my business?” My answer was a resounding “YES! Be proud of your roots and be AUTHENTIC!" Fast forward to today - her authenticity resulted in partnering with Rare Beauty! She even got to hire 5 amazing Crafties for a 500 person event for Latin Heritage Month. Hear her story on how she went from stay at home mom to building an authentic latin heritage business that her children can be proud of. WANT PERSONALIZED TIPS TO BUILD YOUR CALLIGRAPHY BIZ?
