Crafting Your Creative Business: Strategic Consultations for Makers & Creatives

​

Running a creative business in the craft industry is deeply rewarding, but it comes with its challenges. From managing the design process to marketing, branding, production, and sales, it's easy to feel overwhelmed or lose focus on the bigger picture. Whether you’re just starting or already established, taking a step back to reassess your business can unlock new possibilities.

 

Who Is This For?

This consultation service is designed for creatives and entrepreneurs within the craft industry who are looking to elevate their business. Whether you're a designer, lampshade maker, textile artist, or someone looking to develop a collection of handmade or digitally printed designs—this is for you.

 

I’m here to help if you:

​

• Have completed a creative workshop, such as lampshade or textile making, and want to turn your craft into a thriving business.

• Are developing a collection of designs for lampshades, cushions, homeware, or accessories, whether hand-printed or digitally produced.

• Need expert guidance on taking your product from concept to production and beyond, including selling, marketing, branding, and wholesale strategies.

• Want mentorship on creating and launching collections, from fabric and paper prints to full homeware lines.

 

What You Can Expect:

Before our session, I'll send you a comprehensive questionnaire to get a clear understanding of your business. This allows us to dive straight into the specifics of your business during our consultation, focusing on your goals, challenges, and next steps.

 

In our consultation, I will:

​

• Listen carefully to your ideas, challenges, and business structure.

• Provide actionable advice based on my experience in design, production, and marketing within the interior craft industry.

• Help you refine your strategy for designing and producing collections—whether it’s lampshades, cushions, fabric prints, or homeware.

• Guide you through marketing, branding, and selling strategies tailored to your unique business needs.

• Offer insights on building a cohesive collection, from selecting patterns and materials to ensuring consistency across products.

• Explore wholesale, retail, and exhibition opportunities, along with avenues for showcasing your work, including online platforms and trade shows.

 

Together, we'll craft solutions that renew your confidence, spark creativity, and equip you with practical tools to run your business more effectively.
