BACKGROUND
Trimmings started with me teaching myself Photoshop in middle school, mostly by following random tutorials, one of which was drawing simple outline portraits. When my sister asked me to design her a sticker she could put on her laptop. I couldn't print stickers myself so I uploaded it to a marketplace website for her to buy. A week later, I realized a lot of strangers had also bought that sticker so I thought, "I should turn this into a business." That let to me uploading more designs, which turned into an Etsy shop, and now I sell strictly wholesale.

the NUMBERS
As mentioned above, as of the last update to this page (May 4, 2026) my total sales across 4 years is almost at $1,000,000. The spikes shown in the chart are when Faire hosts promotional markets. The $35 was my first sale!
