Overview
A two-sided home for makers and the people who buy from them.
Generic marketplaces flatten handmade goods into faceless listings, and the makers behind them end up juggling spreadsheets, payment tools, and a storefront that hides who they are.
Hearth pairs an editorial storefront — browse by craft, curated collections, maker profiles, product pages with variants and reviews, wishlist and cart — with a Maker Studio dashboard where sellers manage products, inventory, orders, returns, reviews, analytics and payouts. Built in React with a warm OKLCH token system and a serif-and-sans pairing, it ships in light and dark out of the box.

What we built
One marketplace, two audiences, one design system.
Buyers and makers each get an experience tuned to their job — sharing the same components, tokens, and data model underneath.

A closer look
From the shelf to the shop ledger.
The same warm, accessible system carries a buyer from browsing to checkout — and a maker from a new order to their next payout.

A storefront and a back office, built as one.

Average maker rating
I used to run my shop across three spreadsheets and a marketplace that hid my name. On Hearth, buyers see my story — and I see my orders, stock and payouts in one place.
