SNDKT
A marketplace and community for local artists — with an integrated charity model. One of the first things I built end to end.
The problem
Independent and local artists had nowhere built for them to sell work, be discovered, and gather a community around what they made. Generic marketplaces treated art like any other SKU, and trust and discovery were an afterthought.
What I built
A marketplace fused with a social community: artist profiles, listings and a storefront, a community feed for discovery, and an integrated charity mechanism so a share of activity supported causes. It paired commerce with belonging — a marketplace people wanted to be part of, not just buy from.
What it proves
Earliest end-to-end product thinking. Marketplace mechanics, community design, and a values-driven model — all the way back in 2011, at the very start of the journey.
