MS episode 167: Stacie Bloomfield of Gingiber, Moda Fabric Designer, and Creative Entrepreneur
Stacie Bloomfield is a creative I have been following for a while now but I wanted to ask her all of the creative business questions swirling in my head so I asked her on the podcast for a chat. Stacie is creator and owner of the Gingiber brand, designer for Moda Fabrics, and has wear many hats in her creative business. She shares so much about her home and business life on her instagram stories which makes her so approachable to me. She really opens up about her creative life and how turning her passion into a business is both rewarding and challenging. Stacie also talks about her licensing deal with Moda Fabrics and the different fabric lines she has been working on. I thought it was so interesting to hear that what she sends in to clients is often only a stepping stone for a product because it goes through so much editing to get to the final product. I loved this chat and I know we could have chatted forever. Stacie is such a sweet and honest person to share her business story with me. This is a much listen for sure.
