THE BABE BEHIND THE BRAND

I am so happy you’re here! Being a crafty babe is a special thing and you’re part of the coolest gang of babes.

I’m Andrea, the owner of the crafty babe Magazine and the babe behind the Retro Hip Co. brand.

Crafty since the 80s and raised on handmade resourcefulness, I come from a family full of makers. Since 2010 I’ve been building an online presence and community through my blog, online workshops, YouTube content, magazine, a couple of podcasts, and by inspiring others to get creative.

My mission is to spread crafty vibes to all the people and to remind each other that our your creativity deserves the spotlight, not the sidelines.
