Plan Description:

I am a young Graphic Designer dreaming of doing my Masters at the Savannah College of Art and Design in the United States!

Right now, I don’t quite have the funds to go away – after scholarships from the University and my own savings, I need to find a further $11,000! So far I’ve tried Crowdfunding on Pozible; writing to businesses, local and national, to ask for help and donations; and working 18 hour days.

My Pozible plan was a success and I managed to raise $5000 (hooray!) and the 18 hour days have certainly helped me save, but it isn’t quite as much as I need, so I am going to try and sell some prints of my illustrations.

I’ve set up shop at iamabby.bigcartel.com and I am hoping that I can sell a few prints with all funds raised from selling my prints going towards my SCAD fund! You can check out my illustrating in action here!

My Big reasons are:

The ‘I am Abby Shop’ is an online store I recently launched to sell prints of my illustrations to raise money for my tuition to do my Masters in Graphic Design at a College in the United States.

My hope is that I can use this online platform to sell my prints to people who love art and like my work to raise some much needed money. I've been having some trouble getting the word out about the store so I haven’t been able to reach the people who would want to make a purchase.

My plan will be a success when:

My plan will be a success when I start selling prints! Further success would be raising enough money to send myself away.
