The lovely Emma of Robinson designs is with us also today – See the end of her interview for a fab dicount & giveaway :))
Who are you?
I am Emma, I am 28 a wife, and a mummy to gorgeous girls, Alexandra 2.5yrs and Bethany who is one.
What do you do?
I design personalised photocards for birth announcements, Christening/Baptisms, Birthdays, Weddings, and at the moment Christmas Photocards. I also offer a photo manipulation and photo editing service too.
When did you establish your business?
In 2008 when my first daughter was born I wanted something different to send out as her birth announcements, so designed my own photocards. Although it was only June 2010 I really did something about it and made my online presence.
What made you start your own business?
I like to be different and when my daughter was born I wanted something different to the usual birth announcements, so created my own unique photocard. I also did the same for her Baptism and everyone loved them so much and said I should start selling them. I tried on ebay and did sell a few photocards, but because I was working I never really had a lot of time to do anything about it.
I still work part time, so Robinson Designs is more of a hobby business at the moment.
What do you love about working for yourself?
What do you love about working for yourself?
Being in control about what I can do and when I can do it!
Is there anything you would go back and do differently if you could?
I would have got my business up and running back in June 2008
Finally If there is 1 thing that you could tell other Mums who want to start there own business; what would it be?
