You're in the right place!
You’ve been sitting on a product idea for months (or years), scrolling Alibaba at midnight and wondering where to even start. You just want a clear, step-by-step plan to get it made properly.
You’ve already ordered samples or chatted with factories, but it’s been a confusing mess of quotes, delays, and “lost in translation” moments. You’re ready to find the right manufacturing partner and make progress.
You already run a service or retail business and want to create your first product line, but the manufacturing side feels like another language. You want to get your product made right.
Made to Make

The confidence (and systems) to manage production like a product CEO - no guessing, no wasted money, and no dodgy samples.

A full understanding of how manufacturing really works - from MOQs and lead times to pricing, quality control, and shipping.

ALICIA - MONDAY'S IN JULY
"As someone who has struggled with low self-confidence and has started and stopped this project for over 18 months, I can honestly say that Kristy was the business bestie and hype girl I didn't know I needed! She tackled my limiting beliefs and filled my head with practical wisdom across manufacturing, marketing, finance and so much more."
SAMANTHA - SAPIA CREATIVE
"Kristy has a rare gift for combining strategy with clarity and heart. Each module is packed with value - practical, structured, and achievable and it helped me rebuild not only my plan but my belief in what’s possible."

So… Any Questions? Here Are Some Frequently Asked Questions.
This course is best if you’ve got an idea simmering already.
If you’re trying to figure it out alone, manufacturing your first product can drag on for a year (or more). With the Made to Make framework, you’ll have a clear step-by-step roadmap - meaning you could have your product ready for production in as little as 8–12 weeks, depending on your pace and product type. The process is designed to cut out the confusion, wasted samples, and back-and-forth that slow most founders down.
Nope. You just need an idea and the willingness to follow the process.
Yes. Many founders start this way. The course is self-paced, so you can fit it into your schedule.
Perfect. You’ll be able to use what you’ve already done as a starting point. Made to Make will help you clean up your communication, fix any gaps, and move forward with confidence (instead of starting from scratch).

Are You Ready To:
You’ve already tried Googling, DMing factories, maybe even ordering samples that came back nothing like the photos. You’re ready to follow a proven process that actually works - start to finish.
You’re tired of feeling like the only one who doesn’t know what they’re doing. You know you’re capable - you just want to feel confident in every decision instead of second-guessing yourself.
You’ve been thinking about this idea for so long it almost feels like part of you - and you can’t shake the feeling that if you don’t make it happen soon, someone else will. You’re ready to stop wondering “what if” and finally see it come to life.
(But you know that.)
That product idea isn’t going to make itself
I know how overwhelming manufacturing can feel when you’re starting out... the acronyms, the ghosted emails, the samples that turn up nothing like what you ordered. I’ve been there, and I don’t want you to waste years (and thousands of dollars) figuring it out the hard way.
Over the past 15 years, I’ve built a $50M product brand, shipped more than 150,000 products around the world, and filled over 500 shipping containers - so when I say I know what it takes to get a product made properly, I mean it.
Made to Make is the exact roadmap I wish I had when I was trying to turn my first idea into a real product - one built properly, profitably, and with pride.
If you’ve got an idea that’s been sitting in your head for too long and you’re ready to make it real, you’re in the right place.
I've seen too many product ideas die in the Notes app...
