Have you ever heard you’re supposed to follow up with companies, but you talk yourself out of it because “they already said no”? You’re not alone. Cris Pliego almost did the same thing. Instead, she followed up twice, and that company has now been licensing her work for over four years.
Cris is a Mexi-kiwi artist whose bold, whimsical work has landed in Frankie Magazine, on gift wrap, and even on reusable nappies (yes, really). In this Studio Collective Member feature, she walks through every channel she sells on, the burnout that came from doing it all at once, and the shift that changed everything: saying yes only to brands that actually align with her work.
Flip through the full feature below, just like a magazine.
