Found a niche with real demand

Designed around a highly specific fan need, then used storefront signals and buyer questions to refine the offer.

Balanced craft and fulfillment

The work required product design decisions across form, materials, packaging, repeatability, and customer expectation setting.

Built a measurable sales story

About 600 sales in five months gives this project a useful business lens beyond the artifact itself.
