Sherry Aikens

A 20-year veteran of the apparel industry in both the design and executive-management functions, Sherry parlayed her depth of knowledge into independent success. No stranger to quality garments, Sherry’s attention to detail and business acumen was integral in dealing with high profile clients such as Nike, Reebok and Adidas.
After exiting corporate America for motherhood, she filled her spare time with simply participating in local craft fairs. Demand increased for her product and, in 2006, she launched BabyPop Designs. Sherry identified Etsy.com as having great potential as a marketplace for her product, making her an Etsy pioneer. She quickly became a top seller on Etsy and was honored as a featured seller.
In 2009, BabyPop.com’s independent website was launched and runs tandem with her Etsy store. Babypop has seen tremendous success, having been featured on Good Morning America, Martha Stewart, Inc Magazine, Parenting, Fox TV, HGTV and Philadelphia Inquirer. Sherry also speaks on the topic of small business. She has spoken at pod camps, and blogging conferences. Sherry blogs at biggirlsguide.com a plus size blog for women over 40 and personally at Superexhausted.com.
