You can call me Grovy. Or Grovy Mango. I like being semi anonymous.
Q:Why Grovy? What does it stand for?
A: A conjunction of the words groovy and grove. I love music, especially funk-jazz fusion, hence the word groovy, and I love nature. The word grove makes such a soothing warm sound. Grovy = trees dancing
Q:How are your prices low?
A: I'm lucky to be able to protect my margins with my experience in coding! I'm able to independently set up and code a website, find hosting without a middleman service. If I sold my items with the same prices on Redbubble, Society6, teespring, Shopify, Squarespace, Etsy, Big Cartel, I'd make a lot less, because those platforms would take a larger cut. It's kind of like, renting vs. owning. That, and because of my internet following that helps drive sales volume, which leads to smaller unit prices for the items in my shop.
Q:Why are your prices low?
A: I do it for my audience of single mothers, broke college students and silly people. And besides, my clothing items are Gildan. I've already put in the work (web dev + marketing) to be able to have low prices but also a decent profit margin :-)
Q: Where did you learn how to code?
A: Freecodecamp.com is my bestie. Self taught. But before freecodecamp.com, in middle school, I took blogspot.com too seriously.
