This giveaway is really exciting — it’s specifically for shop owners and the prize is super, super fun! [skips around with Bauer in excitement for the upcoming winner.] Lisa of My Little Buffalo and I are working together to offer one Gussy Sews reader a shop design MAKEOVER opportunity :] Psst, want to know something insanely cool about Lisa and I? We were bridesmaids in each others weddings!!! So fun. ♥

Below, Lisa shares a bit of her design work & experience, and how she helps to transform a handmade shop with the help of her design work. I love Lisa’s style, it’s so happy and very recognizable!!!

*

Hi! I’m Lisa, and I started My Little Buffalo, a design, illustration and stationery studio back in 2008. I live and work in the quirky yet lovable city of Portland, OR. I didn’t go to art school or pursue a creative degree, but once I met Adobe Illustrator, I was in love and have been since. Year after year I discover new things about design and illustration, and I love creating the imaginative brainstorms that come from my clients. Portland is an artsy city and I love being pushed into greater creativity everyday!

I’m giving away a complete shop makeover. Consider it a little beauty treatment for your handmade business. **This includes a new shop banner image, two advertising buttons, a printable sign for your table at craft shows, and a business card design.** So basically, the whole shebang.

It is SO important to have a cohesive and eye pleasing look for your shop. The minute someone clicks onto your site, you want it to be as good looking as possible so they stay, feel comfortable, and SHOP! I can help you with that clear vision and streamlined look!

    This is so exciting!
    My shop is open, but with nothing in it. I have my products ready and I am in the picture taking stage!
    It would be so cool to have it set up right from the beginning so I don’t have to change it later!
    Please enter me- I would love a shop makeover!

  24. Veronica says

    My shop so needs a makeover. I’m getting serious about promoting it and putting out a new product lines in the next few weeks, and a makeover would really help!

    I found Gussy a few weeks ago and I was so inspired when reading her “about me” section on her page. I was also married at the same time, just graduated from college, and moved to a new city far away from home for my husband’s job. I decided to open up an etsy shop last year and sell clothing and accessories. The things I still struggle with is the brand identity and marketing. It would be great to have someone help with creating buttons, a website, etc. I love the images listed above and the unique style that they have! I recently started to do my etsy store full time and I am very excited where it will take me. Gussy is a huge inspiration! Thanks for the giveaway! I will definitely be blogging about this!
