my annual small business reflection vid (with mini qna) is here! wow, looking back at all my old vlogs to gather clips really made me see how far i've come. life moves so fast, especially with how busy a small business will keep you that you forget to look back at where you came from. it's only been 3 years and yet it feels so far away when i was drawing on my phone...

take care,
annika
