I thought that it was finally time for me to let you get to know me a little bit better! I realise that when I made my new website in August I forgot to add anything about me!
So hi! My name is Tia, I'm 24 years old and I live in the South of England. But that's boring! So let's go a little deeper!
I love being creative. And not just in a making things kind of way. I think, live breathe creativity. From new ideas to new hobbies, and new outlets.
I am a massive Swiftie (Taylor Swift fan) basically all i listen to is Taylor Swift. But i don't mean i listen to 'Shake it off' '22' 'Blank Space'... I mean i all of her albums (especially Folklore). I'm so excited to go and see The Eras Tour in August!
I have always been an extremely creative person, I originally wanted to do film production for my Degree, changed to Psychology, and then ended up doing Digital Media Practice, for my MA. Just a little bit of variation there! I loved doing my Psychology degree but i craved something creative to stick my teeth into, so i started a YouTube channel. I enjoyed it, but i easily fell out of love with it, the amount of time it took, and it wasn't really getting anywhere so i stopped.
Then we move on to the January of doing my MA, and i saw a lot of small business videos online and i thought that it would be cool to start my own business. I started creating products, and in Mach 2022 i launched Out The Box Shop! I released the first two notepads and 4 art prints.
Now almost 2 years later Out The Box is still on a roll. Last year wasn't the year for the shop to be honest. I got married! However that meant that the shop wasn't my main priority, the wedding was, so i didn't grown or progress in the way i wanted to. However 2024 is going to be our year. The shop is one of my main priorities, and i'm working really hard on it, but also really enjoying it!
Anyway i guess that digressed, so here are 5 random facts about me!
- I live by the sea and love it! However i only go sea swimming in the summer! Otherwise it's way too cold!
- Through the ages of 13 to 18 i wrote a diary every day. Now i have about 5 journals worth of it, and i love going back and reading it sometimes!
- I love the 2010's American Teen TV shows. I always have a repeat of something on in the background whilst i'm working! If i'm not watching something i'm listening to Taylor Swift!
- I've never been good at drawing, or illustrating, but it's something that am learning and improving! I've improved hugely through creating products and designing things!
- I am also a freelance Social Media Marketer and Branding Designer alongside the shop, and have a part time job! I am always doing something!
So theres a little bit about me and Out The Box Shop! Let me know if you want to hear more!
