Scribble ladies? check. Body positivity? check. The announcement of a second business venture from a self-identified “zillenial” artist who is absolutely crushing the game? check-but this time using a satisfyingly smooth glass pen that you will be able to buy at Hannah Stelter’s “Scribble Lady Co” merchandise and art supply company. We got Molly back on the show to co-host the interview with Brittany, so this is a great episode! Can it get any better? Maybe if Brittany used the word “siiiiick” less, but like Hannah says-the best thing about life is when you figure out how to embrace imperfection.
As a young entrepreneur, Hannah is embracing imperfection while she paves her way in the art world. While on this journey, Hannah explains how her art has helped her redefine beauty standards and why she is so passionate about promoting unapologetic self-love. We hear all about the ins and outs of owning and managing a small business and how Hannah deals with delegation, customer service, and outsourcing people to do the jobs she hates. Hannah is helping us rethink the way we look at creating art: different ways of thinking, the power of imperfection, and the importance of fun. From watercolor pallets to sketchbooks and glass pens, Scribble Lady will soon be the new place to shop all things amazing art supplies!
