It's that little spark that happens when you pick up the perfect gift - for yourself or someone in your heart - that makes retail magical.

In our digital age, consumers are yearning for the tangible satisfaction of quality handmade and design-driven goods. Shoppers want to see, feel, and experience the narrative of objects made by real people. They feel good when they support small business. This is evident in the enormous surge in the popularity of handmade & independent designers, the blossoming of indie craft fairs all over the world, and the increased market share of handcrafted merchandise. The growth of the creative economy is meaningful on both social and economic levels and it is good for your business. 

It is the sense of discovery that drives sales.

It is the reward of creating meaningful connections - from makers to retailers to consumers - that drives me. 

Pleased to meet you, I'm Megan.
