About Mae Bloom

Hi! Owner/Artist of Mae Bloom here, Jourdan. I feel like my story of how I got started gets muddled over the years because I'm constantly trying to evolve, grow and develop my craft everyday. Brief backstory though - I've always had a somewhat Entrepreneurial mindset since I was little. If you ask my mom, I was always selling something that I made. I remember as a kid, I used to make friendship bracelets and displayed them in a plastic purple briefcase and walked door to door, selling them to neighbors. Fast forward through college and a few bumps in my career path that landed me to the job that I feel started it all. I was a Visual Manager for quite a few years with a pretty well known retailer that places a lot of value on Creativity through Window/Floor/Shop Displays. Not only was I responsible for the Visual presentation of the clothes and accessories we sold; but I partnered with an full time display artist in our store on the displays in the store. One of our installations was all about Macrame - Macrame pieces in our windows, our front display fixtures, etc. I did not know how to macrame along with probably most of my peers in the field - the solution was simple - You Tube it and figure it out. I did and I loved it! The rest was history, growing over the last decade to where I finally decided to open my Small Business in November of 2020! Ever since then, I've been expanding and learning more about my craft/art everyday!Read their story
