Clever art made in South Boston

Hi there! How are you? So glad you ended up here on this little corner of the internet. You may be wondering, "wtf is a Maker / Scholar?" Fair question! 

The origin of Maker / Scholar:

I started Maker / Scholar as a way to sell some ridiculous hand made greeting cards while getting my MBA at Harvard Business School.  The name is a nod to Harvard's "Baker Scholars" (the top 10% of each class). I knew there was no way I'd be a Baker Scholar, but with my paints, a printer, and a Shopify account I guessed I could be a Maker / Scholar.

Maker / Scholar today:

What started as a side hustle slinging greeting cards became a full time job painting my favorite things. Today I sell hand-painted and chainstitch embroidered tote bags in limited quantities in online drops. I love making art that people can wear and nothing makes me happier than hearing how many compliments my customers receive on their one of a kind Maker / Scholar originals.

I'm based in South Boston and I'm inspired by all the things big and small that I love about New England. Sign up for emails and follow along on social media to see where I'll be popping up next or to be the first to snag a bag in the next online drop.
