our team

  • Hello! I'm Jen -- Owner & Curator of APPP & the Makers + Creators Marketplace. I’ve always loved thrifting and sharing about all the local treasures and handmade goods wherever I go - I had no idea it would turn into a business! I love seeing people make connections that encourage and inspire them, and put them at ease when they find out we’re all in this together! Now that we have a storefront, it’s literally my favorite place to be when I’m not chillin’ with fam. Otherwise you can catch me in my DMs, editing photos, or managing socials!
