Small Business Feature - Sparrow Collective

Happy Thursday y’all! We would like to introduce you to Jessica from Sparrow Collective. Her shop is our go-to for unique local gifts. We hope her story inspires you to dream big! And don’t forget to swing by and support @sparrowcollective.

What inspired you to open Sparrow Collective?
"I've had the entrepreneurial spirit since I was a kid. I used to make little sculptures and sell them on the corner and as I got older joined every farmer's market and craft fair to sell my own creations. I knew I wanted to eventually open a space to house my own and other maker's products and the cards just fell into place when I met the ladies behind Fasten (a collective and cooperative maker's shop that existed before Sparrow)."

What's your big dream for Sparrow Collective?
"I have a dream to someday find a perfect larger space for us to grow into but in the meantime we're living the dream! We continue to fine tune the space and how we use it to be able to carry more new products all the time. Our workshops have been gaining a lot of traction so we would love to also house more workshops for our customers!"

What's your favorite thing about doing business in Milwaukee?
"I love that Milwaukee has that big city feel yet small town vibe. The art scene in Milwaukee is incredible and so many people go out of their way to support it and show their local pride in the process. The emphasis on shopping small locally owned businesses is big here and I always feel so honored when people tell us we're their 'place to go' for anyone visiting or living here!'

Thanks for sharing your story, Jessica!
