How Did It All Start?

Shreesha reveals that she is a differently abled person. “I am physically handicapped.  I can walk everywhere, but only with the support of someone”, she says. “Despite all these hardships, I completed my schooling and also my B.A in economics and political science with a first class. All of this was possible for me only because of the constant support of my loving parents, my sister, all my dear friends, and all my teachers, she adds.

During the lockdown, when she had a lot of free time, Shreesha started designing birthday greeting cards for her friends and family members and began sharing them on WhatsApp and other social media platforms. “All my friends and family members loved all my designs. They all appreciated me; my pappa, mummy, my sister Sneha and all my friends encouraged me to turn my hobby of this ‘art’ into a ‘creative’  business of designing. In this way, I turned my hobby of art into a business and named it  “Creative Arts by Shreesha”. All this was possible because of my sweet family, especially my pappa whom I miss so much today as he is no more with us”, she says.  “I know that my pappa will be very proud of me”, she adds.
