Ms. Samina Bain-La Papiere-Receives the OWN Bahamas and DIGIPRINT Grant

Meet Samina Bain, Owner and Creative Director at Sophia’s Paperie- a product styling and graphic design studio specializing in styling events and branding. Our online shop: www.etsy.com/shop/SophiasPaperie features all of our signature, personalized party printable now available as both DIY downloads.

I’m a Daughter, Sister, Aunt, Law Student (Arden University, London England), Football Player, Aspiring Entrepreneur, Self-Taught Graphic Designer and I Love…Love…Love designs & events! I’ve been doing free-lance design work for the last 10 years. Recently, I’ve launched Sophia’s Paperie which is a fusion of my graphic design and event boutique so I can have the best of both worlds.

The satisfaction of saying you’re a business owner is a great feeling to be able to step back and say, “this is my company,” those few words feel so good coming out of my mouth. Let’s face it, money is important. But when you are able to make a comfortable living doing what you love it’s a win-win situation.

Being an entrepreneur takes an incredible amount of work, having the ability to create a business as well as impact people through your passions and beliefs. It enables you to dream big. No idea is too crazy and no goal is too big when you are an entrepreneur, you can dream as big as you want!

So if you’re swamped and busy with work but want to throw FABULOUS custom events for your children, co-workers, friends and family but have
NO IDEA WHAT TO DO AND NO
TIME TO DO IT…SOPHIA’S PAPERIE IS FOR YOU!
