From Joyless Jobs to Whimsical Wares | Cristina Romero of Howdy Ceramics | Tiny Talks Austin

Recorded on September 19th, 2023 at Pershing Hall in Austin, TX.
Cristina Romero recounts her transition from graphic designer to small business owner, sparked by her search for passion and community. After experiencing burnout and job loss, she embraced ceramics and started selling her art under the name Howdy Ceramics. Her brand exploded in popularity after she won a grant and participated in a virtual market organized by Future Front Texas (formerly known as Boss Babes ATX). Her pieces, inspired by her Mexican heritage and a desire to bring joy during COVID times, stand out for their colorful, whimsical style, reflecting her journey of self-discovery and connection through art.
