Des Moines Holiday Boutique - Vendor Q&A : Shay Design Studio

Oct 23, 2023, 18:40 PM

At the Des Moines Holiday Boutique with over 200+ vendors it can be hard to get to know each of them individually. We know you’re busy shopping! We’re got in touch with one of vendors and interviewed them.

1.What is your name and what is your business?

My name is Shayla Williams and the name of my business is Shay Design Studio.

2. What do you sell?

I specialize in offering a wide array of creative products, ranging from coloring books, paint kits, journals, stationery, stickers buttons, and buttons to digital prints for those seeking artistic inspiration and expression.

3. How did you get started doing this and how long have you been in business?

8. What is your favorite part of doing an event like the Des Moines Holiday Boutique?

Since this will be my first year, I am hoping my favorite part is being a part of this event and meeting new vendors, making connections, and meeting new and potential buyers.

I always look forward to seeing other businesses that are similar to mine. I am also looking forward to seeing Erika Baty. She is an awesome author, and her book “Chocolates” is so cute and a great read for kids and adults.
