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 time
  • The importance of feedback in Holly's process
  • The challenges of being one person managing a product company that does customized, individual designs
  • The difficulty of setting boundaries while working from home.
  • Why she's chosen to make big investments in equipment & facilities for her business
  • How her work got featured in her favorite magazine
  • How small touches & details make a big impact
  • What drives Holly’s product design process
  • Holly’s approach to confronting people who copy her designs
  • Why Holly uses Etsy for her business
