TIGHTS DESIGNER
Stories and lessons from my experience as a designer and entrepreneur, covering creative business projects, product development, branding, marketing and running independent businesses.

THIS IS AN ARCHIVE POST FROM 2020. Well, COVID hit, and it was a difficult time for businesses as well as for people in general. Virivee mainly sells tights for events, cosplay and Halloween, so when the lockdowns started, our sales dropped to zero. But the expenses didn’t go away. I still had to pay […]
THIS IS AN ARCHIVE POST FROM 2015 It had happened to me several times before that I found something online that I really wanted to buy, only to discover at checkout that the US webshop didn’t ship internationally. At that point you can either give up on the purchase, or if you really want the […]
