Because demons are a ghoul’s best friend! 

The Creative Process

Aaron: Sheila Ryan has been digitizing embroidery designs professionally for nearly four years, and sewing for boutiques and custom orders for the last 15 years. Not being afraid of new challenges and opportunities has driven her to try new things, explore new business avenues and expand her reach to new markets. Sheila loves the tech and business side of the process almost as much as the making of the physical things. 

Terry: Tell us a little bit about how you get involved in the industry. How did you get where you are today?

Aaron: You’ve talked with us about the creative process, and from looking at your offerings online, we know you consistently create new designs and concepts. How would you describe your approach to the creative process?

Terry: We’re all about education here at 2RG. Let’s talk about how you share with individuals and businesses how to develop their own creative process.

Aaron: Education isn’t just for those of us on this side of the counter; we know you feel strongly about educating customers on how to recognize quality embroidery- what are the most important things you tell customers to look for?

Terry: You shared with us that as much as you love to teach technique, you are also passionate about helping people make that move from hobby into business; What’s the biggest challenge you find new ‘sellers’ facing when they make the switch?

Aaron: In your bio we talked about exploring new business avenues and expanding into new markets. Let’s talk about your experience, and then advice to other businesses.

Terry: Aaron saw a new podcast in your future. What void in the broadcast marketplace are you looking to fill?

Aaron: Terry and I have faced challenges over the years. What challenges have you encountered on your podcast road?

Terry: Let’s end with a quick embroidery question for all of the stitchers listening in: What’s your favorite thread, project, or technique you’ve been playing with lately? What’s exciting in your ‘lab’ lately?

Aaron: If people want to find out more about what you have going on, where can they find you?
