Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in digital art but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Ana Arias, Owner of Fleesveon, located in Guayaquil, Guayas, Ecuador.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

I mainly do digital illustration in Anime style. I create drawings for people that are looking to get their characters drawn, something drawn, or even themselves.

Tell us about yourself

When I joined some portfolio pages, I saw that other people that also drew in my style sold their art as "commissions," I thought I could do it too. I slowly grew in the media; I gladly now live off my art and have accomplished a lot of my life goals. I keep aiming for more.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Bringing my product internationally, selling it all around the world, and meeting amazing people that joined my business. We are now a small team of people.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

Organizing everything and making sure things are okay. Setting up schedules and making sure nothing is missed, with so much on ourselves, it's hard to keep track of everything. However, I am trying to improve this.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Look at what others do, get inspiration, and try it yourself. No matter how high the goal is.
  2. Make sure you stay healthy. There is no success if you aren't feeling great and cannot carry your own business.
  3. You will have to find more people with the same passions, be careful who to trust, and know that getting help is okay.

Where can people find you and your business?
