Hi, Sharon! Tell us a little bit about
yourself.
I’m 23 years old and
I live in Los Angeles. I studied Graphic Design at FIDM (Fashion Institute of
Design and Merchandising) and graduated last year.
When did you start Hello
Cavities?
A few months after
graduating, I decided to start the company, which consists of me and my
boyfriend, James.

How
did you choose the name Hello Cavities?
It was a joke between my friend and I about the movie The Silence of the
Lambs. When Hannibal says "Hello Clarice" I used to say "Hello
Calories" (you know, because he eats humans, haha). When it came to
naming my brand, I decided to go with a spin-off of that phrase and came up
with “Hello Cavities." I liked it because it sounded sweet, yet dark – a
perfect reflection of my artwork. The concept of our brand is to be
overly indulgent with the sweeter things in life!
What
were some of the first Hello Cavities items you created?
The prints inspired by The Little Mermaid, Cinderella, Minnie, and Snow
White.

I
love the characters you have created. I’ve never seen anything like it before,
which made me reach out to you. What inspires you?
Most of the designs I have right now are inspired by Disney – I am a HUGE fan!
Will
there be seeing recurring characters, and maybe some new ones in the next Hello
Cavities collection?
Starting with my next collection,
I’m going to have more original characters and hopefully develop a storyline
behind the girl you see in the designs!
Awesome,
I can’t wait to see what’s next! As of right now, you sell a variety of items
in your Esty store – postcards, sticker packs, prints, puffy bow barrettes and
shirts. Are there any other items you plan on adding to the store?
PLUSHIES! I am hoping to have plushies of Gooey the Angler Fish within a
few months! Other than that, we are a graphic tee based company, so many many
more shirts!
Best
of luck to you and Hello Cavities, Sharon. I can’t wait to see what you’re
going to come up with next!
