Peaches Art and Crafts
Peaches Arts and Crafts emerged as a small business initiated by myself and my partner. Its origins trace back to my time spent at the laser lab, where I discovered the joy of crafting delightful acrylic earrings. Motivated by this newfound passion, I embarked on creating a diverse collection of earrings and began offering them to my circle of friends. Presently, our primary avenue of sales revolves around the online platform. However, we have also ventured into hosting a pop-up shop at our school, and we have exciting plans to organize pop-ups in New York City later this year.
Within Peaches Arts and Crafts, I play a pivotal role that encompasses a multitude of tasks. One of my primary functions is taking charge of the design process. I enthusiastically dive into the creative realm, brainstorming and conceptualizing unique and captivating earring designs. Whether it's experimenting with intricate patterns, exploring nature-inspired motifs, or incorporating trendy elements, I strive to create earrings that resonate with our customers.
