Having gone through some ups and downs in her life, Dua’a has never given up on independently establishing a small business. Back then, Dua’a started making natural soaps and other skincare products, but unfortunately, her business failed since she started having allergic reactions to some of the ingredients she was using. At that point, Dua’a gave up and stopped trying to create her dream. During the pandemic, Dua’a began hand-knitting blankets and quilts; at first, she didn’t consider turning it into anything professional, but when her husband lost his job due to COVID-19’s negative repercussions, Dua’a decided to evolve her newly-learned hobby into a business. With time, Dua’a began generating a small income and realized the positive change this business impacted her life. On a personal level, Dua’a confidence was boosted through the handmade blankets and quilts she has been designing. She believed she can accomplish so much more with her skills and expand her handmade business to be able to financially support herself and her family. Dua’a received a lot of praise and support from her family and customers. Designing colorful patterns on blankets and quilts has motivated Dua’a to learn more about the business world, but she has been facing some market and economic challenges that have been coming her way in establishing her dream.     

As a credible and reliable channel for boosting sales, Dua’a considers Crafts Market as an effective tool to help her boost sales, become known among local and international markets, and continue doing what she loves.
