Meet the founders
Americans Serge Heymann and Jim Valera are both entrepreneurs who’ve lived overseas for over 24 years. They’ve seen traditional artisans go out of business because of mass-produced goods and wanted to help save their age-old traditions. They founded Artisanary to empower traditional artisans the world over to join the global marketplace and keep their invaluable cultures alive. In 2020 they were joined by Viviana Mura, an international corporate attorney, a native of Italy, and a lover of traditional handcrafted goods as well.Beautiful in all sizes
From PCs to smartphones, Artisanary is beautiful and responsive on all size screens
