Recently, I wrote about wanting to shine a spotlight on some of my readers. Women who are following their dreams, and trying to make a career out of what they love. Today, I want to introduce you to: Tamara Hensley
Tammy is a graphic designer living near Lake Superior. She grew up creatively, dabbling in various creative pursuits. At the age of 10, her mom gave Tammy and her sister a sewing machine.
She sewed and quilted and dreamed of the day that she could design her own line of fabric. Eventually, she stumbled upon Spoonflower, a website where designers can upload their fabric designs for sale. Since then, she has created over 100 designs.
Tammy saves the money she makes from the commissions on the fabric sales through Spoonflower so that she can purchase her own fabric to create the projects that she loves.
Her dream? To become a licensed designer for a fabric company.
Tammy, Keep following your dreams, and doing what you love. I'm rooting for you and I know my readers are too.
You can learn more about Tammy on her blog: Art, Alphabets, and Adventure
