Meet Jenna – The Heart Behind Artisan MRKT
Jenna, our founder, comes from a long line of entrepreneurs. Her family once owned a charming French bakery back home, where she began learning the ins and outs of running a family business from an early age. Her angel mother was the heart and soul of their family business – Jenna followed her everywhere, soaking it all in. That experience planted the seeds of passion for craftsmanship and community.
Before Artisan MRKT, Jenna’s last career was dedicated to helping small and medium businesses thrive financially. But in 2020, everything shifted. Dusting off her sewing machine, she began volunteering to make masks – a simple act that reignited her love for creating. From masks, she expanded to crafting cat toys, ring dishes, handmade jewelry, ornaments, and more. She launched her own Etsy store and even collaborated with Eataly during one holiday season.
After stepping away to focus on her growing family, Jenna was reminded of the values she held dear – supporting others, fostering creativity, and building community. Those tiny humans inspired her to return to her roots, and from that, Artisan MRKT was born.
Jenna’s story is one of passion, resilience, and the belief that small businesses can create something truly special.
We can’t wait to share this journey with you.
