    • Entrepreneurship

Holly from Atomic Avocado doesn't have the background you might expect from someone who's running a product business that focuses on Mid-Century Modern-inspired items that range from signs to keychains, but it was an important influence in how she runs that business. We had a great conversation about her story and the evolution of Atomic Avocado where we hit on a bunch of topics, including:
How and why Holly has evolved her product over timeThe importance of feedback in Holly's processThe challenges of being one person managing a product company that does customized, individual designsThe difficulty of setting boundaries while working from home.Why she's chosen to make big investments in equipment & facilities for her businessHow her work got featured in her favorite magazineHow small touches & details make a big impactWhat drives Holly’s product design processHolly’s approach to confronting people who copy her designsWhy Holly uses Etsy for her businessConnect with Holly:
