2019 was quite a year at Stefanie Wolf Designs!
Here are some of the highlights:
1) I was granted a Trademark Registration from the United States Patent and Trademark office. This accomplishment was a long time coming and something I began pursuing several years ago.
~
2) We raised and donated $710 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation through the sale of our new pink jewelry in October.
~
3) Martha's Vineyard Magazine shared the story of my business in a feature article.
~
6) I launched my first custom designed sterling silver bangle with a custom bead focal point.
~
7) Stefanie Wolf Designs celebrated 10 years in business on the island of Martha's Vineyard.
~
8) I launched the stack collection which is my first ever collection created exclusively with a custom bead that I designed and had produced in the Czech Republic.
~
9) My team and I exhibited at 5 industry trade shows in 3 states where we met hundreds of stores that are interested in potentially selling my jewelry across the country.
~
10) My team and I exhibited at 22 craft shows on and off island including the Vineyard Artisans Festivals, the Guilford Art Center's Craft Expo (Guilford, CT), HarborFest and Tivoli Day.
~
11) We did our first ever styled photo shoot on location in Martha's Vineyard with a professional photographer, stylist, makeup artist and 3 models.
~
12) I attended my first ever business conference as a small business owner where I learned more about marketing my business in the information age. I've attended tons of online conferences and forums and traveled to exhibit at shows but this is the first time I traveled in person to learn something new. What a gift!
~
13) Petalura Catalog decided to feature my jewelry in their catalog. See my jewelry in their catalog here.
~
14) We partnered with 54 new shops, museum stores and galleries who began selling my designs including the Hillwood Estate Museum and Gardens (Washington, DC), Found Gallery (Ann Arbor, MI) the Martha's Vineyard Museum (Vineyard Haven, MA), and the Museum of New Mexico (Santa Fe, NM).
~
15) I added two new employees to increase my staff to 6 smart, talented, beautiful local women. I couldn't do any of this without them! Deep gratitude to my dedicated team.

Hi Stephanie! Congratulations on your many 2019 successes! I visited your boutique this summer in MV and then I came upon your jewelry again in Ann Arbor at Found. Please consider sharing your lovely creations at the huge Ann Arbor Art Festival every July.
