Artisan is something clients recognize you as.
It is an authentic narrative about the materials used and the special process used to create the designs.
Remember, it is a story of culture (how it’s made) and nature (what it’s made of).

Let your work do the work for you! Be brilliant at what you do!
Hone your craft. Invest in your creativity. Develop your portfolio and showcase to the world what you are really capable of.
Remove anything that detracts from your credibility.
Share your work with passion and flair. Showcase what you did behind the scenes. Explain why you did what you did.
Share your journey, tell your story, start a conversation and build a connection with your clients.
Work with clients on projects that build your confidence. That elevate your vision. That spark your creativity.
That you can look back on with pride. And always, always do the best work you possibly can.
Go all out every time. Showcase what you are capable of and surprise and delight your client.
These are the things that build a sustainable business.
Its all about owning it. About working from a place of strength, confidence and utter uniqueness rather than looking over your shoulder at what everyone else is up to. And it starts with your magic.
But remember that you need to communicate your artisan brand in the right way,
so your clients know exactly what you can do for them when they come across your work.
Let me help you find the right elements for you artisan brand,
so you don't have to worry about these anymore, and can focus on making exquisite work!
If you're just starting your artisan business, or you want to take it to the next level, I can help you both.
When you want to start your artisan business, I can help you find your unique handcrafted product,
define your ideal client, build your portfolio, create your brand styling,
present your work on your website and on social media.
When you're a few years in business, and you want to take it to the next level, or you want to refine it,
because sales are staying behind, I can help you to really hone your craft,
refine and inspire your ideal client, make quotations that turn into orders, and charge what you're worth.
To make the most of our time, we will meet face-to-face on a Zoom call that will be recorded for you to refer back to whenever you may need. I will guide you, support you, share with you everything that I have learned, and push you out of your comfort zone.

My journey with Sabrine was one that brought me back to my base, to my essence, my craft. Everything made me feel that my business was ready for the next level, but my current way of working didn't feel right, not in line with myself. Besides the practical tools that Sabrine has given me, she is able to give words to the future version of yourself and your artisan business.
Insanely throbbing and spot on! She also let me focus on what my strengths are and how I can use them for my business.
I now trust on them and see the future of my craft business with so much more confidence.
Thank you, Sabrine!

Sabrine has helped me to set up my company completely differently.
She is a super nice and inspiring mentor, who not only thinks along with you on a conceptual level,
but is also very strong in honing your craft, make your craft visible, and tell your brand story in an authentic way.
Without Sabrine, I'm sure I would have put off my plans to elevate my artisan business even longer.
Dear Sabrine, thank you for all your help!
