Hey, Maker

 

I’m SO glad you’re here!

Like most of us, my creative business stemmed from a hobby that became a side-hustle and is now my full time business and livlihood! When I was first starting out on my maker journey, I listened to hours and hours of podcasts, googled everything under the sun, and read tons of blogs to try to figure out how I could take my little hobby to a successful, meaningful business.

I started off thinking I would only sell my items, then started selling my patterns, and NOW have discovered that I really want to help YOU feel like you have a maker friend to talk to about your new creative biz. I hope to help you find alignment in both life and business through workshops, group trips, and my new vibrant online community—the Adventurous Creative Club. I'm here to share the joy of living creatively and build a community of purpose-driven, adventurous makers, creatives, and small business owners who also love to get outside!

In this space, I will be sharing my tips and tricks, helpful resources, maker interviews, and other things about my maker journey in hopes that I can share what I’ve learned so far. The maker community has been so inspirational and supportive and I want to give back by sharing some of that knowledge with you!

Thanks for coming along on the journey.

Come behind-the-scenes

Have you ever wondered what the day-to-day life of running a small handmade knitting business looks like? Are you a fellow small business owner who feels alone or like they don’t really know what they’re doing but are trying to figure it out and want a maker friend to connect with?

We’re in it together!

Follow the journey and subscribe to my YouTube Channel: Smeeny in the Wild where I’ll be sharing (almost) weekly studio vlogs and biz tips about how I run Smeeny Made Wild!

I’ve learned so much about running my creative business over the last 5 years and wanted to find a way to document and share more of the behind-the-scenes with you. If you’re a maker or starting out on your business journey, grab a coffee or fun beverage, your craft of choice, and let’s hang out while we make together!

 
 
 
 
 
 

 Creativity. Community. adventure

Are you a maker, creative, or small business owner who is feeling constantly behind, like you’re being pulled in too many directions, have so many ideas but don’t know where to start, or even just feeling a little bit lonely on your journey?

YOU WANT TO HAVE A CREATIVE BUSINESS, BUT ALSO ROOM FOR ADVENTURES, TRAVEL, GETTING OUTSIDE, AND ENJOYING THE LIFE AND FREEDOM THAT YOU GOT INTO THIS FOR TO BEGIN WITH!

You already have an idea of what your dream business looks like, but feel pulled in too many directions as a multi-passionate creative.

Do you have a handmade creative business?

In 2020, I decided to start an Instagram Live series called “How I Built My Maker Biz.” During the summers of 2020 and 2021, I interviewed over 25 maker friends from fellow knitters to jewelry makers, ceramacists to sewists about how they started their businesses.
