Meet our Makers

At We Make Good, we celebrate the skill, creativity, and dedication of our makers. Each handcrafted piece, from toys and candles to tableware and printed materials, reflects social and environmental responsibility.

We partner with communities facing employment barriers, providing tools, training, and opportunities to create products that tell stories of dignity, resilience, and skill. By supporting our makers, you invest in fair work, inclusion, and sustainable production, helping build a future where Irish design is ethical, beautiful, and impactful.
