Ultimate Creative Freelancer Kelly Thompson On Finding Your Place In The Industry

Kelly Thompson has done it all - from fashion photography and artist management to commercial illustration and keynote event speaking, she’s been running her one-woman small business for pretty much her entire creative career.

But in the last year, Kelly has settled into a part of the industry that really feels like home. Her online store of handcrafted treasures, Makers' Mrkt, has grown from a small but productive online store to a fully fledged marketplace in the last twelve months . Setting up a small biz in the middle of a pandemic turned out to be a blessing in disguise!

In this episode of TDF Talks, Kelly talks to managing editor Sally Tabart about levelling up, knowing when to change direction, and finding her feet in a sometimes cut-throat game. She’s the best!
