Shaina Designs initially emerged during the lockdown period while I was at university. Inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement and a desire to contribute positively, I embarked on this project as a means to create art pieces for sale, with proceeds going towards charitable causes. It was a way for me to merge my passion for design with a desire to make a meaningful impact. The project gained traction quickly, with the sale of our first art piece on Instagram marking the beginning of an unexpected journey. As interest grew, I expanded our offerings, both creating and selling art pieces, allowing us to continue supporting charitable initiatives while building a name for Shaina Designs. However, as my commitments to my design work increased, particularly as I delved deeper into my professional career, I found myself dedicating less time to Shaina Designs. The demands of design work can be intense. Despite this, Shaina Designs remains an important part of my journey, albeit now taking a backseat as I navigate the delicate balance between work and personal life.
