Sweet Peach Prints is the Etsy business I founded during COVID that grew into an international Best Seller shop and helped fund STEM access through my nonprofit NOV8Youth.
Year :
2018 - Present
Problem :
During the COVID-19 pandemic, I suddenly had a lot of time at home, and like many students, I was looking for something creative and meaningful to do beyond schoolwork. At the same time, I realized how difficult it can be for young people to find real ways to create impact or build something of their own from scratch. I wanted to turn boredom into a project that was both fun and purposeful — something that could teach me real skills while supporting a bigger mission.
Solution :
I started Sweet Peach Prints as an Etsy-based design business where I create original sticker and stationery products from the ground up. What began as one sticker designed on my iPad in Procreate quickly became a full entrepreneurial venture. I learned how to build a brand, develop products for a specific audience, and manage every part of a real e-commerce pipeline. I became skilled in digital illustration, product mockups, professional photography and editing using Adobe Lightroom, and Etsy-specific growth strategies like SEO tag optimization, algorithm timing, and audience targeting. I handled everything myself — design, packaging, pricing, marketing, launches, shipping, and customer communication — turning creativity into a scalable business.
Challenge :
Running Sweet Peach Prints taught me that building something successful requires much more than making art. I had to understand logistics, profit margins, consistency, and how to stand out in a competitive marketplace. Learning what actually drives sales meant constantly refining listings, rewriting keywords, testing launches, and improving production quality while still balancing school and other projects. The challenge was turning a simple idea into something sustainable and recognizable.
Summary :
Sweet Peach Prints became my first real experience building a venture from scratch. Over time, I grew the platform to more than 2.3K followers, created multiple reels surpassing 50,000 views, and earned five Etsy Best Seller listings. The shop reached customers internationally, with orders from India, Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Most importantly, every dollar from Sweet Peach Prints directly funded NOV8Youth, helping support hands-on STEM kits and educational resources for underserved students. What started as a small COVID project became a foundation for my larger path in innovation, showing me that even a sticker designed at a dining table can grow into real impact.
