Jess Van Den

G'day! 

I'm Jess Van Den - a former school teacher and science communicator - and I've wanted to make a living online since 1998. But it took me another decade to figure out how...

I started my craft business Epheriell.com as a hobby in 2008 - and in 2010 I went full-time.

I've been 100% self-employed ever since.

In 2013 I also started createandthrive.com to help other makers turn their handmade hobby into a thriving business via a blog, podcast, courses, membership community + more.

I also love learning & sharing more about health, happiness, and how to be more effective as a  work-from-home, full-time self-employed creative - so I have all the time I need to do all the things I love.
