Matchmakers Market is a thoughtfully curated market that brings together a diverse mix of vendors, with a big focus on connection and collaboration. Guided by the motto “Community over Competition,” each event offers a blend of handmade goods, vintage finds, and boutique-quality items—all from talented small businesses. Hosted by Matchmakers Studio + Shop.

Having dreamed up this concept with inspiration drawn from vintage carnivals, old-world circuses, and antique matchboxes, we wanted to create something that felt a little mischievous and theatrical, like a storybook that’s come to life. From there, the design naturally unfolded with playful typography and a touch of the uncanny. Think Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury.
