It's crazy to say that our furniture line is one of the fastest selling brands to launch on Amazon, we've won awards for our sofa designs (for comfort and style) and our Daphne Bed has sold out over 10 times... but back up, how did we get here??? We started YouTube on a whim, posting random videos and nurturing a tiny business of selling my jewelry designs in parking lot swap meets!
I believe our story is so similar to lots of creative entrepreneurs out there and we have learned so much over the years of building what is now, our design empire! We hope in this video we can impart to you some of those key tips that have helped us: discover our purpose, lean into what works i.e. full room makeovers and design content, having employees and knowing how to raise them up to maximize their creative potential and collaborate, and finally how to go beyond just being content creators and actually manifest a viable brand. You also get lots of sneak peeks from our recent promotional photoshoot and new designs coming out!
Hopefully you find this inspiring for your own creative business endeavors.

I didn't realize ive been watching you guys since before your channel really took off 😮 you have such a natural screen presence at what you do i just thought i found an already very well branded and established channel. I've enjoyed all of your content so much. Thanks for everything you guys have been bringing to us for so long.

I love watching you guys and I'm so thankful that I stumbled upon your channel a few years ago. After I watched the first video I was hooked. I always get excited to see what you both come up with next. It's so great to be a creative weirdo! God bless you.
