One of the biggest mistakes I see beginners make is thinking they need a Cricut, printer, heat press, Photoshop, and a bunch of equipment before they can start. You don’t. Your ability to DESIGN is what opens the door to creating all kinds of custom products—and print-on-demand vendors can handle the production. So I’m curious 👀👇🏾 What product do YOU want to learn how to design first? Backdrops? Floor decals? Apparel? Banners? Something else? Drop yours below. 💜
