As a fine artist, one of the means by which I promoted my work was by creating custom gifts. Generally, these took the form of amenity gifts for attendees of award trips. I worked with dozens of companies, schools, and organizations in this capacity. The process was very similar to the manner in which a UI/UX designer must gather information, present mockups, and deliver a finished, polished product that meets the user's needs.
