What started as a hobby working from home, pulling furniture from the trash and selling it on Facebook, turned into a 5 year adventure in learning what it takes to run a business wearing all of the hats.
Our company provided design and fabricating services to residential and commercial clients, working closely with local architects, interior designers, and fellow makers to help create visually appealing pieces that included furniture and fixtures to beautiful spaces throughout Michigan, Ohio, and Chicago.
Job responsibilities included:
Branding and Marketing of our company using my Graphic Design Expertise.
Designing furniture and fixtures for commercial and residential use
Fabricating, Upholstering, and restoration and reimagining the use of furniture
Teaching Upholstery workshops to keep the trade alive.
Hosting networking events to collaborate and share experiences with my peers.
Building relationships with other industry related professionals to grow our brand and establish our reputation.
Community engagement using my specialized experience in Social Media. I also spoke on a panel of Facebook experts to describe how we grew our business using social media.
Hosted other local Makers and Creators in our Pop-Up Maker Exhibition series.
