THE “BMD” PHILOSOPHY

We best make do with what we got. It’s the philosophy my grandmother lived by—she was a mother to sixteen, a hardworking farmer, a master home cook, and a woman who put her community first. And her philosophy never failed—she somehow created magic with whatever she had on hand, making pies, sewing quilts, fixing what was broken, using whatever was available at the moment.

And it is just that spirit from which Best Make Do emerged: ingenuity. The dream to build something unique, the drive to make use of a variety of skillsets for meaningful work, and the need to fill a valley in the rough landscape of creative services—a gap that traditional agencies simply cannot affordably provide.

So because of that, we do things a little differently at Best Make Do. We want to serve individuals and small businesses who need some help sharing their one-of-a-kind stories, their beautiful creations, and the delicious fruits that can only come from a labor of love.
