hi, I'm Georgia
- the founder of Making A Fuss
I am a curious creative, that loves being in the ocean, playing video games, and stroking cats.
My passion for home interiors and textiles runs deep. I first learned to weave in England’s historic hub of textile production, Manchester. Since then, I’ve worked with textile studios in Manchester, London, New York, and Bristol, helping incredible makers turn their creative businesses into thriving brands.
At Making A Fuss, I help creative businesses and entrepreneurs craft meaningful, engaging brands through strategic marketing, storytelling, and community-driven approaches.
Whether you got here through my extreme networking, a link on my socials, or the magical world of SEO, I am pleased we are meeting 😊

my background
If you are thinking about working with someone to boost your marketing, I think it's important that you connect with the person you are working with. The best collaborations happen when there’s alignment not just in skills, but in values and vision.
So, here’s what led me to found Making A Fuss and dedicate my work to helping makers market their magic.
helping small businesses with digital marketing
In 2010, I recognised the power of social media for small businesses and started teaching them how to build a community and connect with customers online. Seeing brands grow through digital storytelling was the spark that lit my passion for marketing.
learning to weave at art school
I studied woven textile design at Manchester School of Art and fell in love with the craft. Now, I own a mini loom (and about ten boxes of yarn) ready to go at a moment’s notice. Textiles will always be at the heart of what I do.
interning with textile studios
joining the Osborne & Little marketing team
Working at Osborne & Little, a leading name in fabric and wallpaper design, deepened my appreciation for colour, pattern, and interiors in ways I never expected. It also reinforced my love for marketing at the intersection of creativity and commerce.
During my internships at woven textile studios, I spent time designing, but what really captured my curiosity was the storytelling behind collections and the business strategy behind creativity. I realised that the success of creative brands wasn’t just about talent—it was about how well they told their story.

studying for my master's degree in digital marketing
After years of immersing myself in the creative industries and honing my marketing expertise, I launched Making A Fuss to share marketing insights, strategy advice, and creative community support with fellow makers. I believe marketing should feel as joyful and expressive as the craft itself.
I’m currently writing my master’s dissertation in digital marketing, which means I’m constantly discovering new strategies, industry insights, and emerging trends, and having the privilege to pass them directly on to my clients.

my vision for Making A Fuss
You've read about the past, so what does the future hold?!
Making A Fuss is more than a marketing service—it’s a service built around community, creativity, and strategy. There are certain elements that are in the drivers seat and will push the brand to the next stage:
Empowering Creatives – I want independent makers, designers, and textile artists to feel confident marketing their work. That means no jargon, no gimmicks—just practical, human-centered strategies that help them thrive.
Shaping a Community-Driven Approach – Marketing doesn’t have to be lonely. I’m developing workshops, resources, and online spaces where makers can support each other, share knowledge, and grow together.
Championing Ethical & Sustainable Brands – The best businesses aren’t just about selling—they tell stories, create connections, and have an impact. I want to support values-driven brands that align with sustainability, craftsmanship, and ethical production.
Bringing Creative Marketing to More Makers – Whether through 1:1 consulting, online courses, or group coaching, my goal is to make high-quality marketing guidance accessible to independent creatives who want to grow their businesses on their own terms.
Fostering Collaborations – I’m always on the lookout for partnerships with museums, universities, craft organisations, and independent brands that align with my vision.
If you’re a creative entrepreneur, educator, brand, or fellow marketer interested in collaborating, let’s make some magic together 🔥

into the future: creative hubs for makers
Right now, Making A Fuss is a digital-first space—offering strategy, marketing insights, and community support for creative entrepreneurs. But my long-term vision is to bring this into the real world with a physical space dedicated to makers, creatives, and small business owners.
There are already incredible spaces out there for artists and designers—but there aren’t enough. And too often, these spaces focus solely on craft and creativity, without integrating the business and marketing support needed to truly thrive.
Why Third Spaces Matter
Not everyone has access to a studio, a co-working space, or even a home setup that supports creative work. Third spaces—places that exist outside of work and home—are essential for creative communities to grow, connect, and collaborate. But they need to be sustainable, well-supported, and built with business longevity in mind.
A Space Where Creativity and Business Thrive Together
I want to create a bricks-and-mortar creative hub that doesn’t just celebrate making—it supports makers in building long-term, sustainable careers.
This future space will be:
🫂 A welcoming, collaborative environment where textile artists, designers, and creative entrepreneurs can work, learn, and share ideas.
💻 A place where business and marketing support are embedded—so makers aren’t left figuring things out alone.
⚖️ A response to the lack of accessible, well-supported spaces where creativity and entrepreneurship are seen as equally important.
For now, Making A Fuss is growing in the digital world. But in the future? I hope we’ll have a space where you can walk through the doors, grab a coffee, and chat about your next big creative project—with the right support in place to help you make it a reality.
