Running On Caffeine And Gratitude — Meet Jande Laulu

Stay-at-home moms—this one is for you! For Jande Laulu, becoming a mother didn’t slow her down. In fact, it’s what launched her into her journey as a small business owner! After receiving her son’s autism diagnosis, she made the decision to marry the titles of stay-at-home mom and small business owner to take care of and support her family. A Jane seller for 12 years, she is back with us again to share her unique illustrations with our community.

What can our community find in your shop?

“Positive and personalized art prints!”

Why do you love being a small business owner?

“I love the adaptive schedule I can create for my son's education while supporting my little family.”

What does a typical day in your life look like?

"Wake up, move my body, get ready for the day, homeschool, lunch, check emails, create and ship orders, post office drop off, dinner, listings, check emails, and draw to end my night. And repeat! Snacks, caffeine, and water are essential throughout. Ha!"

What or who inspires you?

“Flowers and sunsets will forever inspire my art.”

What is your favorite thing in your shop at the moment? Are you working on anything new?

“Birth flower art prints are my favorites at this moment. I’m working on U.S. State flowers, coloring books, and maps!”

"I’m excited for new beginnings and new opportunities."

What does it mean to YOU to be a Jane seller?

“Jane was family to me! It was my main income for 12 years, and I had a lot of success. I learned so much about myself, marketing, my business, my potential, and my art. I’m excited for new beginnings and new opportunities.”

What is one thing you can’t live without?

“Chapstick!”
