Getting Under The Surface (GUTS)

A Creative’s Journey, Running a Business & Dealing with Challenges – Amanda Weedmark (ep.3)

Amanda Weedmark Season 1 Episode 3

Amanda Weedmark is a Canadian designer, illustrator and business owner who creates and sells nature-inspired stickers, pins, patches and paper goods. 

WHAT THIS EPISODE IS ABOUT:
In this episode of Getting Under The Surface, we ask Amanda the following five questions, which are meant to help creatives and business owners, alike, on their professional and personal paths ...

  1. Why design and illustration — what prompted you to choose this field?
  2. As a creative, what did your journey look like from HS, to college, to the professional world?
  3. How did you get into over 90 retail stores across North America?    
  4. 4. So obviously, you’re an artist AND a business owner. How do these two different facets of you co-exist — and how does one affect the other? 
  5. What is the biggest challenge you have faced (either professionally, personally) and how did you handle it?
