A personal journey into American made.
American Made Products wasn’t created in a boardroom or by a marketing firm.
It was built out of personal frustration, deep research, and years of firsthand experience navigating a marketplace flooded with imported goods and misleading claims.
One simple request.
More than five years ago, my husband and I were preparing to move into a new home. During that process, he made a simple request:
“Let’s fill our home with American made products.”
At the time, that sounded straightforward. It wasn’t.
What followed was a deep dive into product labels, brand claims, supply chains, and manufacturing disclosures, many of which were confusing, misleading, or intentionally vague.
That single request sent me down a rabbit hole I didn’t expect, and ultimately led to the creation of American Made Products.
I saw the problem firsthand.
As I began researching furniture, home goods, tools, and everyday essentials, I quickly realized how much work it took to buy what we believed in.
It wasn’t consumer-friendly, and it wasn’t scalable for most people.
We chose American made anyway.
Despite the difficulty, we committed to buying American made whenever possible. Over time, the differences became clear.
These weren’t abstract benefits. They were real, lived experiences.
If this process was difficult for me, someone actively researching and committed to buying American made, it would be nearly impossible for the average consumer.
From a personal project to something more.
What started as personal research gradually became something bigger. I was already doing the work: verifying brands, identifying trustworthy manufacturers, and separating fact from marketing spin.
Sharing that knowledge felt like the natural next step.
- Support American workers, manufacturers, and communities
- Bring verified American made brands together in one place
- Eliminate guesswork and misleading claims
- Help others make informed purchasing decisions
The work doesn’t stop at the app.
In addition to building American Made Products, I continue to:
Research American manufacturing trends
Analyze brand claims and industry practices
Publish educational content and resources
Advocate for transparency in consumer goods
This platform exists to empower, not pressure, people to make informed decisions at their own pace.
Come build it with me.
