Celebrating iconic footwear with an online print shop

In 2021, armed with an A3 printer, a box of cardboard tubes and a love of sneakers, I created and launched the Kicks L’Amour print shop - a celebration of iconic footwear featuring my own illustrative prints. I ran an Etsy and Big Cartel store alongside an Instagram feed to market the prints, generating a significant number of sales.
