Your studio assistant really should be contributing more to the proceedings.
Loving your work and the "Improvements" you have made to the prints.

[@smishstudio]

Hahaha, I agree, but she does keep the studio bug free!
Thank you so much 🙏🏻

Could you please make a video review on the ink rollers ? After years of practice, what is your favorite brand ? Do you prefer to work with hard or soft ink rollers ? Your opinion would be very useful 🙂

Hey Courtney :)
Which platform did you use to build your shop and portfolio?
and thank you for sharing your creative process :)

I use Squarespace. There's lots of good options out there, and would recommend looking at Shopify too. I just picked mine because I liked the templates.
