Hannah has a double whammy episode today, as her guests are twin sisters Amy & Megan Pickard who have both turned their hobbies into their own creative businesses! Amy used her love of arts & crafting, including embroidery, sewing & crocheting, to help fund her university placement and, after finding success with this, she decided to set up her own Etsy store under her brand name: hAPpea creations. In 2020, due to the impact of the COVID pandemic, Megan joined forces with Amy and set up her own 'sister' brand called Pastel Paca. Pastel Paca was born out of Megan's passion for the likes of crocheting and jewellery making. Being a Master of Science student, Megan was just crafting as a way to wind down, but she saw the potential in selling her crafts and decided to also take the plunge into the business world! They may have been in business for different lengths of time, but both of these sustainability-conscious, business-savvy sisters have their own stories and tips for you all!
