California Vendor Opportunities & Event Resources for Artists and Makers

Featured on the Jewellers Academy Podcast

I’m excited to share my first podcast interview with Jessica Rose, founder of the Jewellers Academy. In this episode, “How to Grow a Jewellery Business Through Fairs and Events ”, I talk about my journey starting MONOLISA, and the lessons I've learned selling my work at art shows.

When I launched my business five years ago, resources on participating in art fairs were limited—so much of what I’ve learned has come from firsthand experience, having now exhibited at over 130 shows. I hope this conversation offers helpful insights to fellow artists and entrepreneurs navigating their own creative paths. A big thank you to Jessica for the opportunity to share my story on the podcast.

This year, I stepped away from the studio to speak with Krystal Jugarap, founder of  EM/POWEREDbyWMN, about my business journey with MONOLISA. In our conversation, I shared insights on building a handcrafted brand, the unique value of pop-up storefronts, and key lessons I’ve learned about succeeding with face-to-face sales in today’s crowded online marketplace. Thank you to Krystal for the opportunity to share my story on episdoe #54 of the EM/POWEREDbyWMN podcast.

Featured on the Dyslexia Explored Podcast

In recognition of National Dyslexia Awareness Month this October, I was honored to be a guest on the Dyslexia Explored Podcast, hosted by Darius Namdaran, founder of BulletMap Academy. During our conversation, I share my personal journey with dyslexia, the challenges I’ve faced, and how working with my hands has helped me better understand my learning differences. My hope is that by sharing my story, others navigating similar experiences will feel encouraged and supported. I truly enjoyed the conversation and hope listeners find it meaningful.
