BACKGROUND

During my sabbatical year in 2021, I embarked on a journey returning back to my creative roots. As an attempt to explore my own identity as an Indian-Canadian woman, I began making art and self-care products. This inspired me to pursue an entrepreneurial venture selling my work through online platforms such as Shopify and Etsy. My business, named Glo Lab, celebrates our “human” side and aims to reconnect with the inner self. I questioned, how can artful products empower people to reconnect with their inner world?

RESULTS

Started a passive online business selling:

• a guided journal that encourages reconnecting with the inner child and inner body through self-inquiry

• art that illustrates unapologetic self-reclamation

• sold 190+ prints globally, 84 journals, and a total of $7300+ in revenue in 1 year
