This fall will mark 3 years since I made the pivot to stickers as Sprinkles Studios (hi Mom!). I started out cutting Creative Fabrica designs on my Silhouette at home and realized that maybe there was something about these stickers that people liked. Early 2024 I went “librarian viral” when I made some really niche librarian stickers that took off in a Facebook group. Then I started outsourcing a little, then slowly everything. Late 2024 I started drawing my own stuff. Mid 2025 I realized I couldn’t do everything out of my house anymore and got an office and hired assistants. I also took Katie Hunt | Wholesale sales & marketing for product businesses Paper Camp and my growing wholesale arm really took off. And here I am in 2026 with two assistants and getting ready for a move into a bigger office because we’ve outgrown this one. All of this to say: my success didn’t happen overnight, and I’ve got a ways to go until my business is really self sustaining. If you’re only a year in, don’t give up. Keep making art or slinging books. Your audience is out there, you just have to find it. 💙
