Learn with Julieanne Steedman
As a self-taught artist and business owner I’ve spent years learning about what makes a creative business really work; all the while working to cultivate a creative community. My goal and passion is to empower artists and makers to build thriving handmade businesses and to truly live the life they dream of.
Having built my own business and had the opportunity to work with hundreds of creatives, I realized there was a need for a space to share this knowledge, to take the scary out of running a business. I’m beyond passionate about this and I’m here to guide you through the exact steps to build your profitable and joy-filled handmade business.
