Loomcraft

A commission marketplace MVP connecting independent textile artists with buyers, built to validate demand before a wider creator-economy pivot.

MVP Development

The challenge

Loomcraft's founder had run a version of this as an Instagram-and-DMs business and needed a real product to prove the model could scale past manual matchmaking.

Our approach

  1. 01

    Rebuilt the existing manual process as a structured commission request flow rather than inventing new functionality speculatively

  2. 02

    Kept messaging simple, a shared thread per commission, instead of building a full marketplace chat system upfront

  3. 03

    Launched with the 40 artists already in the founder's existing network rather than an open signup, to control quality early
