Makers We Love ❤ Small Business, Big Change - Butter&, Refillery LA, Fanm Mon

Inspiring makers join Linda and Drew At Home to share how they turned their passions and hobbies into businesses that make a difference in the world.

From designer cake shop, Butter&, in San Francisco, Amanda Nguyen and Ted Moran talk about how they made the shift from data analysts to owning a bakery that prides itself in making great design more accessible, being the best employer in the food industry and helps elevate other small businesses.

Then, Kelly Murphy from Refillery LA shares her story of how taking a trip abroad and seeing plastic waste in remote beaches inspired her to change her own lifestyle to one that is more eco-conscious. Her mobile refill van now services homes all across LA, helping people reduce packaging waste!

Next, we travel all the way to Turkey where we meet Sophia Demirtas of Fanm Mon, a luxury and sustainable clothing brand that weaves into every step of the way, vibrant colors and details, her love for nature and her respect for the wise and crafty women of her home country of Haiti.

Connect with all of these amazing makers!

YAY ZERO WASTE!

If you’re interested in taking a zero-waste workshop, reach out to Kelly at hello@refilleryla.com !

We’ll be sharing some fun ways to start working towards zero-waste in our own home on our YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/athome.

We have a long way to go but we can all get there, a little bit at a time 🙂

#STOPASIANHATE

Amanda Nguyen has been sharing her experience in light of the recent rise of violence and racism against Asians.

She started a fundraiser for mutual aids funds and organizations who needed extra help reaching their goals. She set a goal of $1000, with Butter& ready to match the $1000. By the end of the week, she surpassed that and reached $8745! Hooray for community!

See Butter&’s post to learn where the funds went and support in any way you can ❤ : https://www.instagram.com/p/CM5lXX0plKL/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
