Meet Amanda “Makyn” Clarke-Peterson, the Founder & Owner of Makyn.me. When she isn’t working hard, you may find her writing, devouring creative content on social media, or sipping coffee & watercoloring.
Amanda is a skilled Professional Artist who loves to create different forms of Art using a variety of mediums. She conveniently offers her Creative Work in the Mandakyns Shop, here on Makyn.me! She cordially invites you to OPEN SHOP alongside her to sell your own art, handcrafts, & original work!
In 2018, The idea for creating the Makyn.me marketplace & community came to Amanda while brainstorming. While pondering her own Artist problems & pain-points, she had an epiphany to create this innovative solution to help Artists like herself! Thus was born the concept of Makyn.me!
Amanda decided to #becomethechange she wished to see in the world! She taught herself to code & developed the Makyn.me platform to help underprivileged Artists. Since that time, she has continued working behind-the-scenes to improve the platform for the benefit of Artists & Crafters.Since then, Amanda has dedicated her effort, resources, skill, & time to our Mission. She is constantly endeavoring to raise awareness & support for the greater arts community!
