The decision to leave my steady full-time job is not an easy one, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. It requires a leap of faith, a willingness to take risks, and the support of a understanding partner.
My partner and I have been trying to conceive a baby for a couple of years without much success. As a result, we decided to seek fertility treatment and make changes to our lifestyle. The first step was for me to quit my stressful job and focus on my health while undergoing fertility treatment.
Being without a full-time job has provided me with a lot of free time to concentrate on my mental and physical well-being. It has also given me the opportunity to learn new things. Initially, starting an online business wasn't on my agenda, but exploring my creative potential has always been something I wanted to pursue.
Considering the speed and efficiency of learning how to use Adobe Illustrator, I decided to master the software. This allows me to create unique and visually stunning digital designs without the need for traditional painting materials. After becoming proficient in Adobe Illustrator, I felt inspired to venture into designing apparel and accessories. This ignited my creativity and passion for fashion, ultimately leading to the creation of "Basic Apparel," my online store.
