Primadonna Pieces
Paper Goods
I launched Primadonna Pieces in 2007 as an accessory boutique specifically geared toward girls with over-the-top accessories to go with their outfits . My goal was to provide high quality products at fair prices that customers would love and appreciate . Fast forward to 2016 , Primadonna Pieces still provides accessories , but our focus now is on paper goods and printable art . Like DIY items for the everyday mom , aunt , dad , uncle , whomever -- something easy for them to take part in making it their own .
“ I take pride in crafting my products , so that my customers are happy they chose to shop with me . I want my customers to keep coming back for more . I want repeat customers !”
What is your favorite part in the process of designing products ? My favorite part is using the creative side of my brain . I love putting pieces together that are different or unique and that stand out from the rest . I always try to bring something different to the table , outside of the box . I love seeing my pieces being used . I love hearing customers say to me , “ Oh I love it , it ’ s perfect .”
What is the biggest challenge you face during your daily schedule ? My biggest challenge is being in work full-time from 8-6 . My creativity is limited to only a few hours each day , so I have to work extra hard to make a difference and make my items stand out from the rest .
What advice would you give to someone considering a similar path ? The best advice I could give , is NEVER give up . No matter how many people wish bad on you , tell you negative things , NEVER give up on your dreams . Anything is possible in this day in age . Strive for the best and be the best artist you can be .
