LISTEN TO THE EPISODE HERE:
What if you could see opportunities everywhere and were able to grow your business with no limits, having faith in the process all while surrounding yourself with other powerful women?
That’s what today’s episode of The Business Babes Collective is about with our Guest Tanvi Arora of @TavCeramics. TAV Ceramics is a ceramics studio based in Vancouver, Canada with the mission to create simpler, more meaningful experiences with everyday objects.
In this conversation, Tanvi shares her journey of how she moved from Dubai to Canada previously working for over a decade as an interior designer and then transitioning into becoming an entrepreneur. She shares the passion she has for her work (it shows in her products) and how she’s been able to scale her product-based business.
Danielle and Tanvi discuss the importance of having patience, a solution-oriented mindset, and how challenges are a part of the journey. Danielles asks Tanvi about some of the BIG collaborations she’s been able to secure and how she believes there are endless opportunities everywhere! Tanvi has been a member of our Mastermind since the fall, so Danielle has had the incredible pleasure of getting to know her and strategizing on ways to scale she can’t wait for you all to be able to connect with Tanvi as well!

Tanvi shares how her experience as a designer translated to helping the success in her business.
