Akonna

Apparel Made by a Youth Entrepreneur

I’m Ava, and I’m a 15-year-old youth entrepreneur! I love to design, create and sell, and especially connect with customers from all around the world. I started off with a passion for entrepreneurship, and then learnt all about selling on websites, creating one after learning how to code (akonna.com), as well as selling at craft markets in person. I absolutely love it, and try to spend as much free time as I can gaining more knowledge on how to sell successfully. Through my business, I hope to show and inspire other youth are just as capable of owning a successful business as anyone else. I additionally donate 10% of all my profits to the Vancouver General Hospital for cancer research.
