Crafted is a concept marketplace focused solely on locally made products. The platform brings independent artists, makers, and crafters together in one place, making it easier for people to discover and support creative businesses around them.

In response to fast fashion and mass online shopping, Crafted explores how digital platforms can encourage slower, more intentional purchasing. By focusing on what is made locally, the platform helps users understand the people and stories behind each product before choosing to buy.

Crafted combines local discovery with storytelling to support both makers and shoppers.

Key features include:

• Maker profiles that highlight process and values
• Studio Near Me to discover local creators
• Story-driven product pages
• Curated discovery of handmade goods

Crafted reflects my interest in making and supporting handmade products. Inspired by local design markets, this project explores how design can bring local creative communities together and encourage more thoughtful ways of shopping.
