Reflecting on 2024

As the clock strikes midnight and we welcome 2025, I can’t help but reflect on what an incredible year 2024 has been for my small business. From new creative designs to expanding into exciting marketplaces like Redbubble, Teepublic, Teespring, Ebay, and Fourthwall, this year has been nothing short of transformative. Thank you for being part of this journey—it wouldn’t have been possible without your love and support.


2024 in Review: Challenges, Growth, and Gratitude

This year has been full of challenges and lessons. As a small business owner and designer, 2024 gave me a chance to push creative boundaries and connect with amazing customers.


One of the highlights of the year was creating some of my favorite designs, like the Watercolor Persian Food Illustration, the Wall Calendar 2025 For Travel Lovers, and the Dog & Cat Lovers Designs. These pieces resonated with so many of you, and hearing your feedback—whether it was on social media or through your purchases—was the fuel that kept me inspired.

Here are a few milestones from 2024:

  • Expanding into New Platforms: By launching my shop on Redbubble, Ebay, and Fourthwall, I’ve been able to share my art with a larger community.

  • Diverse Product Designs: From minimalistic line art to watercolor illustrations, this year I explored a wide range of themes.

  • Growing Customer Relationships: Whether through social media interactions or personalized designs, 2024 was about building connections with you, my incredible customers.
