Our Story
About Make [Her]Story
We're a coaching and educational program dedicated to empowering artisans and small business owners — because every maker deserves to have her story told, supported, and elevated.
Why We Started
Born from a Belief in Women's Power
Mosaic Makers Collective was founded on the belief that women entrepreneurs and creatives deserve a thriving community where they can grow, learn, and succeed together. As the community grew, so did our understanding of the challenges that independent makers face.
Imposter syndrome. Pricing struggles. Branding hurdles. The sheer loneliness of running a business on your own. We saw that the same passion that fuels creativity can also be a roadblock when business knowledge and confidence aren't there to back it up.
Too many talented artisans struggle with self-doubt, financial uncertainty, or the overwhelming task of scaling their business. That's where Make [Her] Story comes in.
Our Mission & Values
Empowerment
We believe every woman has the power to build a thriving business. Our role is to give you the tools, knowledge, and confidence to step into that power.
Community
No one should have to build alone. We create spaces where makers can connect, collaborate, and lift each other up — because we rise together.
Equity
We are passionate about representation and ensuring that all women and marginalized artisans have access to the knowledge and support they need.

Hey, I'm Katy!
Founder, Make [Her]Story & Mosaic Makers Collective
I'm a serial entrepreneur, creative strategist, and passionate advocate for female entrepreneurs. As the founder of Mosaic Makers Collective, I've built a thriving retail community that supports women artisans, and through Make [Her]Story, I'm dedicated to helping female founders grow and succeed.
I started my stationery brand, Fresh Out of Ink, in 2016, which became the launchpad for Mosaic in 2018. Since then, I've expanded my impact with She Makes a Podcast, MAKE: a planner for creatives, and my marketing agency, Block Star. I believe in collaboration over competition, in showing up authentically, and in building businesses that align with our values. With years of experience in retail, marketing, and small business strategy, I'm here to help other women do the same—because we rise higher when we rise together.
