ORIGIN STORY

A Note From Em

For fifteen years, I've been involved in small businesses and retail, gaining a range of skills and interests that made me a creative multi-hyphenate.

In 2017, I took a cross-country road trip throughout the USA. During these 12,000 miles, I became even more enamored with small shops and communities and began my vision for Ardent Market. I collected vintage goods, artist pamphlets, and business cards—just in case.

Today, I've combined my passion for small business, creative expression, and mindful living to open and curate Ardent Market.

This business was born out of my admiration for creativity and craftsmanship. The word "ardently" symbolizes my passionate nature, as well as the dedication of every artist, brand, and vendor.

Together we’ve created an ardent marketplace.

KIND WORDS About The Owner

The owner of Ardent Market is truly such a gem. She is the most thoughtful and intentional human so it only makes sense that Ardent Market is perfectly curated and handpicked for you. You’ll never have to worry where something came from because Emily has already done the research for you!

MEGAN

I love Ardent Market and all of the beautifully curated items, but what I love most is how sweet and kind Em is. Whether it’s the newsletters, social media, or her just saying hi, it feels good to know there is a wonderful person behind the scenes making the site and it’s offerings. I will always check Ardent Market for fun goodies before other sites, and Em is the reason I do that. She genuinely cares about her products and her customers.

LINDSAY

Em's ability to curate a deeply meaningful experience continues to take my breath away. Every product, partnership, message, image, and decision is navigated with such intention and beauty. I'm so thankful for the vision and heart she brings to AM. It makes shopping feel like an act of love.
