I love love love small businesses, makers, food cookers and bakers, and all the handmade goodness. I’ve also been in and around markets since 2018 - as a maker (macrame, once upon a time), and also as a host! I know the ins and outs of markets, applications, and have seen hundreds (thousands?) of businesses both in application form and in person.

My degree was in graphic design, and while I don’t design professionally these days, I have a lot of practice seeing how branding can work better for your business.

And then I spent many years working in different types of retail where sales tactics, merchandising, and other selling tools filled my tool belt.

I’m here to share what I know, identify what your business needs to thrive, and equip you with tools to grow your business and increase your sales!

Makers! I want to help you grow your business, become a better brand, and improve your selling skills!

I want you to be able to talk about your business confidently, perfect that elevator pitch, and reach your target audience!

I hosted my first market in September of 2021 and it was a way bigger hit than I thought it would be.

And then it grew in 2022. I hosted 6 markets, over 250 makers participated over the year, and there were thousands of shoppers. In 2023, we grew a little more to 8 markets and almost 400 vendors! And we’ve just kept growing in 2024 and 2025!

I want to help your event thrive and be successful no matter where you are located, where you are in the process, or what your parameters are.

Let’s talk about how you can make your market incredible, what sets your market apart, and how to lean into your neighborhood shoppers!

Will you redo my branding for me?

Nope, but I will definitely go over your current branding and see where improvements or changes could be made - OR - talk about new branding concepts and what may work for creating a brand!

Are these monthly calls, or single appointments?

Right now these are single appointments. However, if you wanted more than one session, we can set something up!

Do you provide any help after the consultation?

I am available via email with follow up questions that come up after our call. This isn’t an unlimited resource? But I’ll answer as many as I can and if it seems like we need to set up another consultation call to get more in depth, we can chat through that.

If I do a consultation, does that guarantee me a vendor spot at a Market?

No - consultations are separate from the application process and will not be considered as part of your application to vend at a market.
