We were lucky to catch up with Luan Dobroshi recently and have shared our conversation below.
Luan, we’re thrilled to have you sharing your thoughts and lessons with our community. So, for folks who are at a stage in their life or career where they are trying to be more resilient, can you share where you get your resilience from?
My resilience come from my abilities to stay focus and push the creative idea narrative that I have in my mind.
Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
As head designer and owner, my abilities to keep things in house this long as far as screening printing things on my own and hand sewing as well, make sure product placement on some garments are perfect. And what’s special about it is the processing leading up to the idea, it’s exciting visualizing something in your mind and then executing it to the fullest as a sample, and so far on. I have new and exciting things that are ideas in my mind that I plan to put out very soon! Plans on having an official website shop so everyone can get an experience of the brand online website is new adventure. Feel I’ve invested a lot of time, sweat, blood, tears, and money behind my brand to see the ideas unfolded. I love love love bring ideas in my mind to life visual artist for sure! Being Instagram DM (direct message) this long interaction with customers 1 on 1 giving an experience small luxury brands don’t give.
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
Three areas of knowledge along this journey I’ve learned are be optimistic, take good and bad criticism and be a listener FOREVER! Learning to listen and take in everything and apply it to your brand where needed is importance to all the ones on the early journey and do what you feel not what others feel.
To close, maybe we can chat about your parents and what they did that was particularly impactful for you?
Most impactful thing my parents did for me was giving the freedom of making my own decisions and it shows through my business I make good and bad decision making skills but the most thing that sticks is the CHOICE you make! Building a brand takes time and effort and making your OWN decisions about your vision
