Our Mission

Our mission is to empower independent creators and craft enthusiasts by building a trusted, social marketplace where creativity thrives, meaningful connections form, and every purchase supports authentic craftsmanship.

Who We Are

We're a team of Northwestern University students who believe shopping for artisan and craft should be trustworthy, fun, and community-driven. We started Plaza with a simple idea of connecting talented crafters with people who appreciate unique, handmade goods.
