How long have you been creating/designing sets?
I've been creating designing sets for 1 or 2 years. I started on Polyvore and designed for a year, then after it got shut down I found ShopLook after a few months. I was very grateful and happy to have found ShopLook where I can keep designing sets and do what I love. I love the feeling of getting to show who I am through the sets I create. At the same time, I love to look at other wonderful creators’ boards. I got inspired by my love for art and fashion from Pinterest, YouTube and ShopLook.
