About the creator

I'm Joy, the creater and owner of ohsrslybookmarks. I just finished my master's degree in social-economic sciences, and am now working full-time as a business controller. I'm also (obviously :)) a small business owner based in Belgium. I have 3 cats, who love being on pictures with my products.

Of course, reading is my passion. I used to have an active book blog and bookstagram, but due to having my business right now, I can't find the time to update these regularly anymore. However, I love working on my business!

I absolutely love designing uplifting and colorful products. 

About the brand

In the middle of the COVID-19 crisis, around May 2021, ohsrslybookmarks was created. My ultimate goal was to spread some positivity through my designs in tough times.

After weeks of designing digital illustrations, I decided that I wanted to turn these into products. This is where ohsrslybookmarks was created, with my first ever bookmark design. I took the leap and opened my Etsy shop (which is still open). After sending 2 of my bookmark designs to a supplier, I decided I wanted to keep the whole production process with me. I printed, laminated and finished every bookmark at home until November 2022. After this period, the work became too much as I started to expand more, so now all bookmarks are professionally printed on sturdy, glossy cardboard.

Fast forward to today, I have expanded my products and designs. Up until today, I have 100+ bookmark designs for sale. I also sell notepads, TBR card decks, magnetic bookmarks, reading journals, tote bags and so on. 

I am continuously creating more designs and adding more products to the shop. So be sure to keep an eye out on the shop!
