Resources & Site Credits
I'm sometimes asked to recommend resources for makers outside my own field of selling to shops. Here's a list of people and places I rate.
Tizzit, Déborah Engelmajer's comprehensive site for makers who want to start or grow a handmade business. She offers a huge library of courses inside Tizzit HQ.
Holly Booth Studio, high-quality styling, photography and video for independent designers, makers and shops in the UK and all over the world. Her post-and-shoot service is legendary.
Kim Lawler Creative, smart web design and branding for creative women. Kim's Zero To Shopify course is ideal if you're setting up your own Shopify website and could do with some help.
The Design Trust, run by Patricia van den Akker. Whether you’re starting or growing your craft or design business, need help with marketing, social media or just want to become more organised, The Design Trust is the online business school for creatives.
