This week on Pimp Your Brilliance, I’m chatting with Brooklyn-based graphic designer Ed Roth of Stencil1. Stencil1 sells Ed’s iconic line of stencil’s and modern DIY tools. He has spent 13 years growing his stencil company and has been featured by Martha Stewart, The New York Times, ReadyMade, and Country Living.
Ed has also done customized DIY events for clients such as Levi’s and Converse. As well as large-scale stencil installation work for the Ace Hotel NY and Benjamin Moore.

In this episode, we discuss how Ed created his own opportunity by starting his stencil line, how he makes money as a stencil designer and his keys to success after 13 years in business.
