Introduce yourself and your store!

[#1]

Hey Geek Squad!

I thought it might be fun for everyone to get to know more about each other and your shops! Post some info about yourself and 3 items from your shop you'd love to share! I'll get the ball rolling! :)

Who are you? Hi team! My name is Cat, I'm from the Metro Detroit, Michigan area.
What's your store name? My store is The Ramen Empire
What do you make/sell? I mainly sell anime, video game, and comic book themed items. I mostly focus on vinyl decals and jewelry, but I'm for sure looking to branch out even more.
Your favorite geeky interests/qualities: I am a huge nerd when it comes to (as I'm sure you can guess) anime, video games, and comics. I like playing RPG's and MMO's, I'm a crazy cat lady, and pickles are my favorite food! I love drawing, collecting action figures, and anything with glitter!
If you could have a super power, what would it be and why? Being a shape shifter would be super fun!

Here are a few of my favorite items from my store!

Hi,
My name is Yana. I am a neurobiologist with a life long passion for art. As a child, creating artwork was my oasis. Since then I went to graduate school, received a Ph.D. In Neuroscience, got married and had two daughters. The time has come for me to bring my passion for artwork back into my life. Now, I will unite the scientist and the artist in myself to create beautiful, biologically-inspired pieces.

Hello! :) I am Sonja, originally from Germany, but working in Japan at the moment.
I just opened my Etsy shop this year (still working on everything), so I basically have no experience as a seller, but I love to make geeky jewelry. I started with making polymer clay figurines, but since I don't have polymer clay available where I live, I have to work with air-dry clay and resin for now.

My pieces are inspired by video games, astronomy and steampunk. I love playing games (mainly JRPGs, but I basically play anything. Got hooked on Overwatch recently), watching anime, other series and movies and collecting stuff related to my hobbies.
I love to play spellcasters in games, so a lot of my stuff is inspired by it. I plan on making a lot of items from actual games in the future, too :)

My Name is Megan Jones and I'm from Southern IL.

The Name of my store is Natd20, it's a gamer reference for when you roll a 20 on a 20 sided die. I primarily sell geek inspired dresses in vintage styles made from upcycled fabric. I'm branching out into accessories and bags in order to get more stock in my store as it takes a long time to make the dresses.

https://www.etsy.com/listing/517622602/scooby-doo-size-14-90s-pop-culture-geek?ref=shop_home_active_...

As far as my particularly geekery, I'm a venture agent for Pathfinder Society which is a table top gaming system like D&D and I play my fair share of video games.
If I had a superpower, I would want magic. Magick and Pixie too had the best mutant powers.
