Find Makers

For designers

Custom work, straight from the maker. Free for designers.

Find Makers is an exclusive, to-the-trade network connecting designers with independent makers for custom pieces. There is no cost to designers — register a trade account with your design credentials to get started.

What you get

  • Vetted makers, across the trades

    A library of USA-based makers created for to-the-trade professionals — furniture makers, metal fabricators, upholsterers, ceramicists, photographers and specialty craftspeople. Work with someone local to your project, or look nationwide.

  • Two ways to commission

    Commission a piece directly from one maker, or post your project for estimates and we'll invite makers suited to it to respond.

  • Your project, fully specified

    Share sketches, inspiration photos, dimensions, drawings and specifications with the brief, so makers see exactly what you need.

  • One place for the whole job

    Estimates, quotes, invoices, payments and messages all run through Find Makers, in one conversation with the maker building your piece.

  • Clear payment terms

    You pay a deposit when you approve the quote, and the balance on completion.

  • Pieces available now

    Browse finished pieces makers have ready to sell. Prices and purchasing are open to approved trade accounts.
