Felt Patches
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Handmade Knitware
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.

As a Bay Area native
Curator of experiences, fierce explorer, eternal optimist seeking The Art Life.
Like, listening to Geidi Primes while exploring (and tipping extravagantly) at a spa place. The answer to every existential crisis I’ll ever have can be found in Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon.
Believer in the way that art connects us to each other. Through building personal relationships with artists, and an empathetic understanding of her clients, Bridget channels the infite. LOL!
