We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Aaron Gilbert. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Aaron below.
Hi Aaron, thanks for joining us today. When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?
I knew I wanted to pursue a creative path professionally when I first saw someone tuft a rug of a design they took off of the internet and how cool it looked once it was done. To make something from scratch that can now be used in your house as home decor is genius Esp when it’s a design that’s personal picked out by the customer. You never have to worry about making a product they won’t like, because each piece is personalized to them and chose by the customer.
Aaron, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
How are you guys doing? I’m Aaron Gilbert the creator of Aaronz Artistry. I got into the business from seeing people around the world make custom design rugs out of yarn on Instagram and YouTube and told myself I can do that. I sell customize rugs for your home or office space that are catered personally to the individual and are 1 of 1. These are hand crafted pieces that have a 3D look to them when you see them in person, that really makes them stand out.
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
The most rewarding aspect of being a creative is when a customer trusts you to bring their idea to a real-life rug design and they are amazed at how good it looks. As a creative I’m always super hard on myself about my craft and want everyone who gets a rug from me to love it. So, I really strive for perfection.
Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?
I built my audience by trying to make rugs that appealed to a certain group of people. I focused first on making D9 Greek and Military rugs, and then once I got those designs down, I started to work on my anime, and cartoon designs. Being able to show range and versatility allows for customers to trust you and in turn want to do business with you.
