Behind the scenes with zoo&roo – My CanvasRebel Interview

I’ve got something fun to share!

I was recently interviewed by CanvasRebel on a series about earning a full time living as a creative. CanvasRebel is a platform that highlights makers, dreamers, and small business owners—and I got to talk all about how zoo&roo came to be. From my humble beginnings making all the things to what inspired me to start designing officially licensed merch for some of my favorite fantasy series to how you can support creatives in today's world, the article is a little peek into the heart of my business.

In the interview, I open up about:

  • How my love of reading sparked a new direction for zoo&roo

  • What it's really like to run a one-woman handmade business

  • The creative process behind the magic (and the chaos!)

  • Why bringing joy—and a bit of bookish escape—to others matters so much to me
