AMAYA JOHNSON

Amaya is a 14 year old aspiring fashion designer and Etsy seller, with dreams of studying and starting a business in New York.

My name is Amaya Johnson, and I’m 14 years old. I started selling my totes and bag accessories so I could start learning about business management and could also start practicing my sewing.

What I really want to do is work in the fashion industry as a designer, so if I practice these skills while I’m young I’ll be better prepared for when I get older.

Right now my shop only offers small items, like my key chains and totes, but in the future I’d like to expand to selling clothing, and possibly even my own custom patterns. I’m still in the beginning phases of running a business.

My advice for someone else starting a business? Just practice and learn as much as you can now, as opposed to learning on the spot once you get older. The information and experience you gain now will come in handy in the future.
