Each member of our Board of Directors brings a unique set of skills and experiences to the table. Their diverse backgrounds and expertise ensure that we have a well-rounded team that can effectively guide our business towards success.
As makers themselves, our Board of Directors understands the intricacies of our craft and the importance of delivering high-quality products to our customers. They are deeply involved in the decision-making process, from selecting the Makers we collaborate with to ensuring that our products meet the highest standards of craftsmanship.
By having our Makers on the Board of Directors, we are able to maintain a strong connection between our business and the creative community. This allows us to stay up-to-date with the latest trends, techniques, and innovations in the craft world.
We believe that this unique approach sets us apart from other businesses in our locality. It allows us to create a truly authentic and meaningful experience for our customers, as every piece they purchase is a product of the passion and dedication of our talented team of Makers.
