Justin Brown

Lead Organizer

Justin Brown is the founder of TN Crafter’s Market, owner of Elk of Stonebridge Suds & Flame Co., and co-founder of The Signature Mercantile, an online marketplace dedicated to supporting small businesses, artisans, and makers. Through each of these ventures, Justin is passionate about creating opportunities for local entrepreneurs to grow and connect with their communities.

Born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Justin has always been a creative and community-minded individual who enjoys bringing people together and celebrating the talents of local makers. After settling in Fayetteville, Tennessee, where he lives with his partner, his nephew, and their lively family of four dogs and four cats, he was inspired to build welcoming spaces where creativity and community could thrive.

As a handmade business owner himself, Justin understands firsthand the dedication, challenges, and rewards that come with running a small business. That experience continues to shape his vision for creating events and online opportunities that help artisans, crafters, and independent businesses succeed.

Today, TN Crafter’s Market is made possible through the efforts of a dedicated team of organizers who work together to host fun, family-friendly events that celebrate creativity, support local businesses, and bring communities together throughout Middle Tennessee.

Through The Signature Mercantile, Justin is expanding that same mission beyond event days by helping shoppers discover trusted small businesses and giving vendors an online home where they can reach customers year-round.

Friendly, approachable, and passionate about supporting others, Justin is committed to building meaningful connections, strengthening local communities, and creating experiences that inspire people to shop small, support local, and celebrate the creativity that makes every maker unique.
