Meet the mind behind The Make It Collective

Kelli Vizzari is the founder of The Make It Collective, a community built to support and celebrate independent makers.

Her journey started with her own handmade brand, Roving Designs, creating felted scarves and toys. What began as a small creative outlet quickly grew into a family business she now runs alongside her son, making illustrations, ceramics, textiles and felted pieces together.

In 2014, Kelli had a simple idea - bring makers together so no one has to build a creative business alone.

That idea became The Make It Collective.

What started with just eight makers sharing one market stall has grown into a thriving community, including curated markets and a much-loved Northcote store that has supported local makers for over 10 years.

Today, Kelli continues to create spaces where small creative businesses can connect, grow and thrive.
