We’ll dig into her early days as she transitioned from a career in nursing to full-time crafting, how she and her partner navigated a trademark challenge that ultimately led to the perfect brand name, and how ADH Crafts blossomed into a collective where neurodivergent individuals can come together, share their passions, and support each other’s work. Vanessa’s insights into the crafting business, sustainability, upcycling, and accessibility in her products make this an episode filled with inspiration and practical advice.
