About Tesni
Tesni Phillips owns and operates Hay Shoe Babe, a custom design company specializing in painting unique designs on shoes. She also teaches classes to help others learn shoe painting techniques and participates in live events and activations. Phillips earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management from Quinnipiac University in Connecticut in 2016. She started her business after a serendipitous encounter at a gym where a member requested she paint a pair of shoes, leading her to develop her skills and grow the venture. She primarily runs the company solo, managing website building, social media, and design creation, while occasionally hiring assistance for events. Her work has been highlighted in an article by Wales Online through the BBC.
