236: Get Started, Don’t Wait for Just Right with Janine Kwoh
Janine Kwoh is the owner and designer of Kwohtations, a Brooklyn, NY-based collection of greeting cards and gifts that reflect and celebrate a diversity of identities and life experiences. Her goal is to create products that others will recognize some of themselves in and feel a bit more seen, more connected, and less alone.
Janine returns to the Work from the Inside Out podcast to share an update since she was my guest on episode 11, 4-1/2 years ago. Since then, she has authored Welcome to the Grief Club, an illustrated book on grief for anyone who is grieving the death of a loved one. Additionally, Janine has expanded her product lines with a variety of new items.
Currently, Janine is grappling with the challenges of how to scale her business to meet the demands of her customers and community of followers while maintaining the integrity of her brand and the quality of life she wants to live.
In this week’s Work From The Inside Out podcast, follow the update on Janine’s journey and her work today:
-
Janine uses an antique printing press to letterpress print every card one-at-a-time and also paints in many designs by hand.
-
She enjoys the physical process and distinctive final look-and-feel that comes with using old printing machines and techniques, while experimenting with modern images and sentiments.
