becka griffin - make & flourish
A professionally-trained graphic artist, I've been selling my illustrations
since 2009. In 2011 I opened my Etsy shop, and was amazed by how quickly sales
picked up. In March 2014 I gave up my day job and I'm now a full time
illustrator. Based in Liverpool, I'm an experienced online seller, with over
100,000 sales over different platforms. I'm Captain of the Merseyside Etsy Team
and I've worked as a seller mentor for Etsy on their 2016 "Open Up Etsy"
training programme for new sellers. I was selected as an official Etsy Educator
for their October 2017 programme for new sellers. I've also been lucky enough to
attend Captains' Summits in Cambridge, London, Paris and Amsterdam. I have also
acted as an Etsy representative in Brussels, speaking with European
Commissioners on behalf of other Etsy sellers. I ran regular workshops from my
studio (pre-Covid), and now online, supporting other makers in growing their
small creative businesses. I also offer a review service to Etsy sellers, and
have written a number of instant download PDFs . I have no "insider knowledge";
I just know what has worked - and continues to work - for me and my business. In
March 2018 I decided to separate my illustration business from my business
mentoring activities, and Make & Flourish began.
