My journey working with artisans began about 16 years ago when I traveled South America, working for an organization researching artisan vendors. I still travel far and wide to find, curate, and source brands that speak of quality, high craftsmanship, and uniqueness and that promote craft traditions. I also bring my rolodex of 16 years of sourcing knowledge into curated content.
Working with retailers and brands through the years, I know it’s exhausting to always look for newness. Traveling to trade shows and sifting through hundreds of vendors is costly and sometimes unsuccessful. I realized my expertise could be utilized to bring curated, hand-selected artisan vendors to your inbox each month. In these exclusive Insider newsletters, I will pair down the best of the best, bringing new exquisite artisan brands to your shops.
Members get exclusive access to top artisan finds, trends, industry insights, and a curated selection of monthly picks I hand-select. I am always traveling from Mexico to Egypt, and this is a way for me to share what catches my eye—to help bring new, unique artisan products and industry insights to keep your brand or shop ahead of the competition. Become an Insider Member and join me on this sourcing journey!
