As an official Craftsperson at Pike Place Market, I set up my own “daystall” each week among a group of dedicated artisans. You can find me in the Crafts Market, usually in the roofed area across the street from Original Starbucks.
Year-end write-up: I sold over 110 days in 2024, which marked the very first full year that I was “all in” at Pike Place Market without the backing of a 9-5 game studio job. In the spring, I received a generous small business grant from the Pike Place Market Foundation and used the funds to develop several new products for my shop, including 3D paper shadowboxes and sticker sheets. In the summer, I dialed in my booth display, worked hard on my salesmanship, and was thrilled with the payoff. During the winter season, my overall sales numbers were lower than in 2023, so I made up the difference by taking on more freelance cover work. After all this time, I’m having a blast being a solopreneur at such a world-famous Market, so I re-upped my license to sell for another year in 2025!
