About Us
Our Story
Founded in 2014 by designer and entrepreneur Michelle Smith, Gather Goods Co. was created out of a desire to create a space where people could shop from maker entrepreneurs, gather, take classes, learn from one another and be inspired in a brick and mortar storefront embedded in the community. With over two decades of experience in design, marketing, and merchandising, Michelle has dedicated herself to creating a space that reflects her values and aesthetic sensibility.

Curated Gift Shop: Explore our selection of heirloom-quality goods for the home, garden, and self many made by maker entrepreneurs in our gift shop. Each item is thoughtfully chosen to bring beauty and joy into your life.

Coworking Space: In addition to the gift shop, our building (an old house) features seven private offices in the back and upstairs providing a serene and inspiring environment for entrepreneurs, creatives, and professional tenants to work and collaborate.
