  Hi.

• 00:00

  Welcome back to eat your crest podcast.

• 00:02

  I'm Jisoo.

• 00:03

  I'm Crystal.

• 00:05

  And what up?

• 00:06

  I'm Michelle.

• 00:16

  So Michelle is back on the podcast with us, and she's a friend of ours who's been on episode 19, which was welcome to the LDR club.

• 00:25

  And in that episode, we talked about being in a long distance relationship, and Michelle's been in one for a pretty long time.

• 00:32

  So if you guys are interested, definitely check that episode out.

• 00:36

  But today we invited Michelle on to talk about being a small business owner and basically, like, dealing with a lot of plagiarism slash, like, art thievery as a creator.

• 00:48

  Yeah.

• 00:49

  Michelle is a total boss who works as a designer in her day job, but she also runs an Etsy shop in her free time, selling her original designs as stickers.

• 00:59

  Some of you guys might recognize them because they're pretty famous, but she's also very active on Instagram, where she shares a lot of her illustrations.

• 01:07

  Sometimes they're playful and relatable, but sometimes they're really informative about important issues.

• 01:12

  One thing that I thought was kind of funny was that when we were kind of planning our intro of Michelle, we were talking about how famous some of her sticker designs were, and I was like, okay, low key.

• 01:24

  Some of them are even more famous because of how many times they've been stolen.

• 01:29

  No, I think that's, like, a thing, right?

• 01:32

  Like, the more.

• 01:33

  Isn't that deal with, like, fine art too?

• 01:36

  Like, the more reproductions or more like, fake outs or something?
