Sotheary Thach’s success with Self-Employment Assistance program

Sotheary Thach is a passionate artist turning her love for illustration into a thriving small business. Her creations, vibrant keyrings and A4 art posters, capture imagination and emotion, bringing color and personality to everyday life.

But Sotheary’s vision goes beyond creative merchandise. She offers bespoke branding services for startups and established businesses, along with commissioned work for agencies seeking unique visual storytelling. Her artistry is not just about design, it is about helping brands express their identity in bold, authentic ways.

Recently, Sotheary joined the Self-Employment Assistance Program with Business Coach Raquel, gaining strategic support to grow her creative brand. Through tailored guidance, she is developing entrepreneurial skills, refining her business model, and exploring new opportunities to scale her artistry.

“The  Self-Employment Assistance Program has given me the confidence and tools to turn my passion into a sustainable business,” says Sotheary.

This is more than a business, it is a story of creativity, resilience, and empowerment.
