UCU: What is your favorite part about Urban Craft Uprising or other large-scale craft shows?
HO: The variety of interesting work from talented artists.

UCU: What
is one thing you consider to be a helpful tip for having a successful craft fair visit?
HO: Have patienc
e and bring cash

UCU: What sets your company apart from others who offer similar products?
HO: There aren’t a lot of children’s designer in the show, so that helps me stand out a bit. My line is organic and handmade to a really high standard. I use a lot of original prints and fabric combinations that are eye catching and adorable.



UCU: What do you like best about crafting/creating your product?
HO: I love being in control of my own designs, especially coming from corporate design; it’s very freeing.



UCU: Is there something you are hoping to shop for, a treasure you'd like to find at this year's Summer UCU?
HO: I would like to connect with more Seattle stockists.

  5. those have to be the cutest little hats and pants I've ever seen. The neutrals are fabulous; so often, the gender neutrals are boring. I'm definately getting a hat as a gift for my chiropractor!
