Hello! Welcome to my second blog post! Today I want to tell you a little bit about someone who constantly inspires me through her business and herself.

INTRODUCING…

LILLY ANN

A little bit about Lilly:

Lilly Ann is an illustrator, letterer, entrepreneur, podcast co host, and YouTuber. She is originally from North Carolina but she currently lives in Texas with her husband Devin, who helps her run her business. Lilly has always loved messing around with fonts and in high school people started asking her to write things for them. From there she started doing more lettering for people outside of school and realized she could have a lot of success doing that. She took that as an opportunity to follow her dreams and launch her online business All Things Lilly Ann (http://www.allthingslillyann.com) .  She sells a variety of things from stickers, to prints, to crewnecks, to shirts, to pins, to notepads and more. Everything that she creates is centered around happiness and positivity. Lilly is a lover of coffee, Monday’s, self care, positivity, and bright colors and we see all those things exemplified through her art and her Instagram. 

She hand letters everything she creates and is so creative when it comes to the look of everything. On her Instagram she tries to post at least one lettered post a day. In addition to her lettering posts on her Instagram she shares things about herself, her husband, fashion, workouts, her coffee addiction, the books she is reading, and all the other things she loves, hence the name All Things Lilly Ann. 

Lilly’s social media presence is amazing. She does a really great job connecting with her audience. She often asks her followers what words they need to hear and then she turns that into her lettered posts. She also responds to a lot of the comments on her posts. She is constantly encouraging everyone to be positive and make the most of every day. She is also very real about things in her life. She lets her audience in on the things that go on behind the scenes as a small business owner, like meetings, shipping problems, and even dealing with people trying to copy her designs for profit. She also recently started a YouTube channel where she shares similar things like workdays in her life, productivity hacks, and much more. 

Lilly is so passionate about what she creates and her personal brand is so consistent with her business’ brand. It is so cool to see someone absolutely love every part of what they do and have success doing what they’re passionate about. When I say that she’s a literal ray of sunshine, I really mean it. You can’t look at her stuff and not smile. Sometimes she gets on her stories just to chat and it feels like you’re having a conversation with a friend. She just has the sweetest and bubbliest personality. Her content is all so bright, fun, and happy and it matches her personality perfectly. 

While social media has impacted Lilly’s business, it has also impacted her life. Through social media, Lilly met influencer Haley Pham and they quickly became long distance best friends and started a podcast called Call Me Candid. When they met Lilly lived in North Carolina and Haley lived in Texas. However, Lilly and her husband decided to move to Texas after they got married. Every Monday Haley and Lilly post an episode of Call Me Candid where they talk about business, advice, and other things. 

I have personally bought several stickers from Lilly’s shop and I love them so much. She is having a new launch on Monday and I cannot wait to get my hands on some more of her products. I have followed her on Instagram for several years and she encourages and inspires me everyday. I look forward to getting on Instagram and seeing what she has lettered that day and be inspired both creatively and just in general. She has such a positive outlook on life and it’s so contagious.

Be sure to follow her on Instagram (@allthingslillyann) for some daily motivation!
