About Me:
I was born and raised just outside of the Boston area. I moved out to Chicago in 2004 and shortly after was inspired to turn my craft and creativity into a business.
About two three years ago I started Just Made It. A business set to build and grow on ideas I have stored over the years. Custom-made invitations, canvas paintings, party ideas, and the latest, personalized name frames.
I named my business Just Made It because most of the time I am "just making" and finishing projects at the last minute....yes I was that student back in college who was pulling off term papers the night before they were due! What can I say I work well under pressure. No really, why I find myself "just making" products is because I live for customization and creating what my customers want.
They will often times see work that I do and say:
"Amanda, I really like that do you think you could do that for me but add this and do that for me?" I love that (most of the time) because I want to give my customers what they want.
To be honest, sometimes I have a hard time making the same piece twice. Ideas are constantly coming into my head.
For example, last year when I participated in my first art fair I thought about what theme I could do that would appeal to all ages. Alphabets came to mind...lots and lots of alphabets. So I made all different variations and they were a hit. I succeeded in my goal of reaching out to all ages too. Grandparents came in with thought of their grandkids. Parents wanted to add to their kid's rooms. Even kids stopped by because they saw letters and colors they recognized. I had a blast.
Getting my website up and running has been nothing short of a turtle pace. With help from family and friends, I am working toward getting my site up but I have learned pretty quick that starting a business costs you money before it makes you money;) Customers are constantly asking me for pictures of my work. A good friend suggested a blog as a cost efficient way to share my work and do business until justmadeit.com is up. I am Chicago based but will ship throughout the U.S. My contact information is above. Let me "Just make" something for you!
