Chapman
Name of Business: Laura- Kate Draws
Tell us about your business: I am an illustrator and am available for
collaboration and exhibitions; I will also be able to offer workshops for
children and young people, an affordable place for other artists to print as
well as offering bespoke print and illustration services. I left university in
2008 gaining a first class degree in graphic arts. I heard about the Enterprise
Fellowship Programme and went to the Centre for Entrepreneurship and at this
point I had no knowledge of how to run a business. This is where I got the support and business
advice and a start-up grant which helped me get equipment to start my business.
Who are your customers? Birmingham Library, the Olympics, Royal
Shakespeare Company and illustrations for children
What is the best thing about owning you own business? Being my own boss and having the flexibility of choosing my own projects to work on.
What is your top business tip? "Be prepared to work hard!"
