Hello everyone,
I just wanted to take a moment to thank each and every one of you who supported Arile Crafts and Prints. You’ve been part of this journey, so I felt that I should be transparent with you. Due to personal reasons, including family matters, I decided to sell my equipment and found a job elsewhere. I also had personal plans tied to my family’s future, and for my own peace of mind, I needed to relocate, change my environment, and focus on taking better care of myself so that I can better support my family.
I started Arile Crafts and Prints with a bigger purpose in mind. If it had succeeded, I had planned to hire undergraduates and provide training for those passionate about graphic design. I’ve seen many talented individuals who want to learn, but opportunities are limited. I also dreamed of giving back by providing meals to children in schools. Though things didn’t go as planned, I still hope to make this vision a reality in the future.
As much as I wanted to continue, I realized that sometimes, circumstances make it difficult to move forward. There are challenges that come with any passion project, and I’ve learned that timing and support play a big role in making a vision come to life. While things didn’t work out the way I initially planned, I still hold on to the hope that I can bring this dream back in the future, in a way that is more sustainable and impactful.
Serving my customers and clients has been a meaningful journey and experience for me. I truly love being able to serve through my layout and crafting services, and it brings me so much joy to create something that makes others happy. I enjoyed talking to my customers, hearing about their business successes, and having them trust me with their stories and life journeys. I’m really grateful to have had the chance to talk to, listen to, and connect with all of you. I sincerely hope that your businesses continue to grow and succeed, and that you’re able to provide the best for your families.
On top of that, I have personal responsibilities that I need to prioritize. My mother is dealing with health issues, and I want to be able to support her. At the same time, my father is already a senior citizen, so I also have to ensure his well-being. Given these circumstances, I need to focus on stability for now.
It wasn’t an easy decision, and I sincerely apologize for posting this only now. But I’m deeply grateful for all the support and trust you’ve given me. Even though things have changed, I will still continue doing layout work online, and I hope you’ll still be there to support my craft.
Thank you all so much—it truly means a lot. ❤️
