We had the good fortune of connecting with Ryan Laessig and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ryan, can you talk to us a bit about the social impact of your business?
We continue to create Milwaukee Makers Market events to provide local small business owners an outlet to provide wears, goods, creations, food products, consumables, artwork, and so much more to their community which helps push their local economy forward.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
What sets Milwaukee Makers Market apart from the other markets is the blood, sweat, and tears that goes into it. We strive to bring the best community experience for our patrons and small business owners. Our events are ALWAYS free to attend and everything we showcase is Made Locally by the person you are shopping from. You get to hear their story, their passion, and how you might even live in the same neighborhood.

M.M.M. prides itself on winning the Best Of Milwaukee Award for Best Art & Craft Fair/Makers Market in 2020, 2021, & 2022

Milwaukee Makers Market will always push to make sure we provide our supporters and makers with a fun, safe, and community filled environment that brings a unique experience compared to other fairs.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
When living or visiting Milwaukee during our Milwaukee Makers Market events I highly recommend stopping by to hear the many stories of how Milwaukee moves and how we love supporting local creatives.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Milwaukee Makers Market would not exist if it wasn’t for the support of our community, local small businesses, and supporters!
