Hi, my name is Shakana! I'd like to introduce myself to my readers so they can get a general idea of who I am.
At this current time I'm 25 years old. I'm very ambitious, and determined. I'm very spiritual, and I've been an entrepreneur for over 10 yrs. I'm married with two kids and I am what America calls “Educated" formally a trade.
My educational background (if you are looking for credentials) is an Associate Degree in Fashion Design (Bauder College) and a Project Management Certification (GA Tech Professional Education)
Phew! Now that I've said all that hoopla, let's get on to the fun part. Talking about my business. I've been doing this thing and not giving up on it for years!
Even though I've been doing the craft and calling it Kana Wear since I was 11 years old, I didn't become an LLC until last year in 2015.
So I've been working on my business and becoming legit for years. Had I known how to do all this stuff back when I was 11 years old I probably would have done it. You win some and you lose some though; and you live, learn, and grow.
If you are one of my long time clients who supported me way back when I carried my merchandise in a basket to sell thanks for your support over the years. ;-) You have no idea how important you are to me! Now instead of a basket you can buy online via my website by way of PayPal. You are all my beautiful butterflies. VIP in the world of Kana Wear!
So here is what's on its way in Kana Wear world. My website is new, My blog is new, and all the cool features and buttons on my website are all adds from accounts that have existed for years. This time though, my Facebook page Kana Wear has store front where you can order your merchandise as well and even be redirected to my website. In celebration of all this I'll be planning a relaunch party over the next couple of months into the new year. I'll say there will probably be some live streaming and trust me it will be completely worth watching, unlike so many pointless times people have hit the button to go live on Facebook. Ha-ha! Think of it as a rebirthing and bursting forth out of my chrysalis into the bright world and showing it my color and beauty.
You might be wondering why I'm making reference to butterflies. Well... If you haven't noticed yet my logo is a butterfly. I made it in college and I'm very emotionally attached to it because I used to study butterflies as a child. My slogan is “Be a new creature." It's from 2 Corinthians 5:17 which says if any man be in Christ he is a new creature. The old has passed away and the new has come. Strangely enough the butterfly is symbolic of being a new creature, and the transformation that takes place in a person. My goal as a designer is to let God do the internal changes, and let me compliment who the client is with the creations I come up with. As a person I'm very uplifting and I'll make sure that even on a bad day my clients feel wonderful. Not just because they're buying my product but because I am who I am. One of the best parts of selling is being involved with the customer. I have had my share of “interesting" customers but hey, it doesn't take away the joy of creating, selling, and dealing with other people who would love to do business with me.
As you can see I love what I do, and I've been doing it for quite some time. Any other credentials I get would really be for my personal knowledge and satisfaction because I'm an entrepreneur. In the bigger scheme of things I have a plan to constantly grow in my business from this point. It's a journey and I'm not claiming to be the most fantastic designer either. I'm just a woman who loves to create, and be an entrepreneur. I'm not in competition with anyone. I'm more focused on beating my own personal highs and if that's a dream created in the clouds then next time it'll be the moon.
Here are some of my Launch Dates:
Website/App Launch- January 1, 2017
Product Launch Party- March 11, 2017
Until next time. Be a new creature!
