thinkin about byan's lil etsy shop... them using everything they're learning in their fashion design classes (as well as all the knowledge they had prior, of course) to make cute lil pieces and accessories to sell so they can help contribute to rent and bills... everything is handmade and they only make like one or two of each item so it's all pretty unique, although they have been known to make a few extra clothing pieces in different sizes when people message them asking if it's possible. they also end up taking the odd commission when someone reaches out, but a number of those have fallen apart when byan's gotten frustrated with the customer being too picky or specific or demanding. ultimately though, they're pretty successful and make some decent money off of it! the amount of work that goes into the shop, especially while they're also going to classes and keeping up with assignments, means they aren't making as many clothes for themself throughout college, which does annoy them a little, but overall... they do still enjoy it, so it's not the biggest sacrifice to make.
