A little about me ...

Hello,

I am so excited to welcome you to the Handmade Association. My name is Effie and I have been a Handmade Business Owner for over 20 years. (Which makes me feel really old 🤭) Throughout those 20 years I have done everything from making handmade cards on my dining room table, to building a global handmade business, appearing on QVC and Dragons Den with my makes, to creating my very own Marketing + Coaching Agency.
 

Along the way I have built communities I love, reaching millions and millions of people a week. I have met so many incredible people along the way, friends and colleagues who have been my biggest cheerleaders, whilst falling in love with the amazing feeling you get every time a customer purchases something you have made.

Handmade is an incredibly special industry. As handmade business owners we are also the makers, a little piece of our soul travels out into the world every time we sell one our makes. I wanted to create an association where you, as a Handmade Business Owner feels at home, where you can lean on us for support as you move forward and reach for your dreams and where you will always know, that no matter where you are on your journey, you can absolutely do, be and have anything you want to.

I wish I had had the Handmade Association when I started my journey all those years ago 😚
 
I hope you will jump in and join in. I wish you so much success on your very unique Journey.

 
Much Love
Effie  ❤️
