She started by painting the pickguard of an old bass guitar she bought on Carousell. Today, Julia Becker’s business ThreeStools has gone viral, attracted customers around the world and built up a two-month waitlist for custom orders.
Julia Becker, a 24-year-old Singaporean, has turned her passion for painting cat designs on guitar pickguards into a viral business called ThreeStools. Her unique designs, featuring whimsical cats on the flat panel attached to guitars, have attracted customers worldwide and built a two-month waitlist for custom orders. Despite initial skepticism about pursuing an art career in Singapore, Becker has proven doubters wrong, earning more than her previous engineering job and generating a five-figure revenue.
Her business began as a personal project, evolving from painting pickguards for friends to offering custom designs on Carousell, and eventually expanding to 3D printing. Though not a cat owner herself, Becker spends time searching for cute cat pictures to inspire her designs.
