Evaluation

Throughout this year, well in fact throughout the past 3 years i have really learnt how to manage my time, through growing The Prawn Shop along side my degree which not only allowed me to have a career to step out in to after graduation, but also understand my practice and cement myself within the design world. I have also learnt the value of collaboration, it has allowed me to gain new contacts in terms of photographers and future models, it has also allowed me to generate new clothing ideas, maintain my creative flow and also create excitement within my brand through bringing out new items and collections frequently. Above all, the most valuable experience I've gained is understanding that i should be working On my business, not IN my business. After hearing this, i released that i needed to make changes, otherwise i wont be able to achieve the things i want for the brand, since realising this, i have set up a new system with my supplier in which he now packs and posts everything from his warehouse, which not only means that people get their orders sooner, but it also free ups over 2 hours per day which i normally spend packing orders. I am really excited to start working on the prawn shop full time, hopefully this year hosting a pop up event, starting my freelance practice, more collaborations and continuing to grow The Prawn Shop as a brand and as a community platform.
