Hi! We’re Ashley and Steven and if you’re a designer, artist, entrepreneur or anyone wanting to develop home decor, lifestyle or apparel products, we want to welcome you to our podcast. We are a husband and wife team from New Orleans, LA with a background in textile design, marketing and branding. This podcast was created out of our frustration of not being able to find the information and resources we needed to develop and manufacture home decor products. What we’ve found is that sourcing materials and finding manufactures is difficult and information is fragmented and scattered all over the web. So we want to pull back the curtain and share with you our successes and struggles and give you every resource we discover along the way (no secrets here). And not only do we want to bring you product development resources but also experts in branding, licensing, and business building. Currently we are sourcing: Fabric printers and manufactures for upholstery and apparel, Wallpaper printers, Picture Frame sources, Party supply manufactures and much much more and we’re sharing everything we learn in the process right down to the name and company that manufactures them. Our Goal: As a one person operation, small business or start up with limited resources, finding the right manufactures to develop products can be a difficult process. The majority of manufactures are almost impossible to find online and the ones you can find want large minimum quantity orders among other high barriers of entry for small operations. So we’ve made it our mission to research and find as many manufactures, designers and artists in the home decor, lifestyle and apparel industries that can truly offer massive value to your business and hopefully build a pretty cool community of artists, designers and entrepreneurs in the process. Our goal is to give you all the resources we learn about to help you create products and build your design, apparel or lifestyle brand. Join the Community! Sign up for our weekly newsletter (one really good email a week) and get access to the Pattern To Product Mastermind Facebook Group. There you can interact with a community of artists, designers and entrepreneurs who are building design brands, apparel brands and products driven businesses like you. Learn from one another and share your resources in a cool community of like-minded people. We’re also bringing you exclusive interviews and content not available on the podcast or any of our other social pages.
