About Handmade Loves

Learn more about Emily, the team and what we do.

Handmade Loves is a place for makers that are creative and business minded alike. It is a community of people from all around the world that love to create and want to share their creations with others. It is a place for learning, growing, and support.

I love discovering unique artisans, and so I have created an authentic space to feature and highlight work. I also have a passion for marketing handmade goods & helping small business grow. My goals are to heighten brand awareness, foster connections within the artisan community, and simply create a wonderful collection of truly useful resources. I’d love to learn more about your handmade business and help make your dreams come true!

LENDING A HAND TO ARTISANS

There are many ways to get involved with Handmade Loves. Do you ever feel overwhelmed by running a business on your own? Do you ever hit roadblocks with marketing or feel disheartened by what you have tired? Are you wondering how you will ever get enough customers to expand your business? Then, you are in the right place! Let me help you. Join the HL community and find the support you need!

I was born and raised in the Midwest, but I never felt like I belonged or fit the mold. I had little technology or marketing knowledge. But I was drawn to it, even after getting two degrees in education. I knew I had to make a change and follow my dreams.

After some self-reflecting, self-teaching, and lots of mistakes along the way, I am proud to have created a conscious community that supports and honors small businesses and handmade goods.

Through our loyal and huge Instagram following, private coaching, e-book, and lots of free content, I help people like you grow and uplevel your businesses so you can live your dream life.
