"Handmade Business Expert, passionate makers’ champion – and since I’m also the founder of Tizzit.co, let me tell you how it got started, and what we’re all about.

Armed with a Masters in Business and Marketing, and a Diploma in Design, I started my career in big corporates and e-commerce, then worked as an online marketing and business consultant for years...

... so I know a thing or two about the systems and processes that underpin massively successful businesses. 

But, most importantly:

Hi, I'm Deb!

let's do this!

I’ve worked in the handmade industry as a business consultant, coach and mentor for over 7 years and helped over 3000 makers start and grow their handmade shops successfully via my programs.

I even had the chance to work as a handmade business expert/consultant for the International Trade Center (a joint agency of the United Nations and the World Trade Organisation).

So how did it all come to be?

You see, working 1 on 1 as a handmade business coach, I quickly realised that my clients were hiring me to fix the wrong problems.

In my experience, the biggest problem that makers and handmade shop owners run into when trying to make consistent, reliable extra income from selling their handmade products, is that they’re trying to build their handmade business one random puzzle piece at a time, without knowing what the full picture is meant to look like. 

So many clients wanted me to implement some sure-fire tactic they’d heard of online that they thought would fix everything, but they had no foundational strategy to actually make this tactic (and the countless others they were trying) deliver what they really wanted.

In fact, there was no real strategy or ‘business thinking’ at all. 
And that meant → no profitable results. 
It was heartbreaking.

To help them, I drew on my expertise and experience to create frameworks to help them figure out what to do, and in what order, to succeed.
Fail-proof systems based firmly in time-tested business and marketing strategies, to help handmade shop owners build their profitable business the RIGHT way.

These frameworks are The Makers’ Roadmap™ and the S3 eCommerce Framework™. And they are the backbone of our programs and of everything we teach.

Of course, growing Tizzit wasn’t all unicorns and rainbows… 

Back when I first began building up the business, I was still working multiple jobs, juggling multiple client projects, and was back at university studying design full time too, so I know how challenging it can be to grow a business from scratch when you have literally ZERO time at all! 

One thing I learnt? You can’t go it alone - which is why everything we do at Tizzit taps into the power of our incredibly supportive community. 

To date, I’m so proud to have helped 3000+ makers to achieve their dreams. 
They’re creating life-changing extra income, doing something they love, on their own terms.

And THAT is what Tizzit is all about.

So, whether it is by working with me and my team or by any other mean, I sincerely hope you see your wildest handmade shop dreams come true.
