Growing the Creative Economy

Becky Anderson has been a catalyst for community and economic development for more than twenty years. She has led scores of successful community revitalization programs by leveraging an extensive network of policy makers, economists, academics, entrepreneurs, and creative thinkers.

As the founder and former Executive Director of HandMade in America, Becky established Craft Heritage and Farms and Garden trail guides to foster economic activity for the region. She helmed the landfill-incubator project, which makes use of the landfill's release of methane gas to power a wood drying kiln and studio incubators for wood turners and furniture makers.  Her work covered the territory from renovating small town main street to protecting and partnering with the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area. Becky envisioned Hand Made House, and then pulled it off, bringing together over 100 artists from the North Carolina mountains, working hand in hand with architects, landscapers, and construction crews to create a model of collaboration that can be replicated not only in the region but throughout North Carolina and the nation.

Becky Anderson Consulting is especially interested in working with forward-thinking policy-makers who are dedicated to pragmatic solutions to improve their communities.
