Our Story — The Makers Behind MakerFlo

Marc Pendergraft and John Modi didn’t set out to build just another crafting supply company. They set out to create something the maker world had never seen—a company built by makers, for makers. And that’s exactly what became MakerFlo.

Their journey began in the most authentic way possible: in their own garages and home workshops, where personalization, trial and error, and passion for hands-on creation was part of everyday life. As small business owners themselves, Marc and John saw firsthand the struggles makers faced—inconsistent blanks, delayed shipping, low-quality materials, and zero support.

They knew makers deserved better. So in 2019, they decided to build the supplier they had always wished for.

From Hustle to Industry Leader

What started as a small idea has now become MakerFlo, one of the fastest-growing suppliers of high-quality blanks, tools, and resources for makers and small business owners in the customization space.

Marc brings heart, hustle, and a deep understanding of what it means to be a creative entrepreneur. His background as a maker gives him an eye for product development, quality control, and the little details that make a huge difference.

John brings structure, strategic thinking, and operational expertise. With a passion for innovation and logistics, he helps ensure that MakerFlo is constantly improving, delivering fast and reliable service, and staying ahead of industry trends.

Together, they’ve built more than just a business. They’ve built a movement—one focused on helping others build their brands, find financial freedom, and thrive doing what they love.

The MakerFlo Mission

At MakerFlo, we believe makers are more than hobbyists—they’re creators, innovators, and business owners. Our mission is to provide them with everything they need to succeed:

  • Premium Products – Sourced and tested for consistent, high-quality results
  • Innovation – Custom-developed and patent-pending products and packaging that solve real problems for Makers and their businesses
  • Business-Ready Packaging – Gift-worthy, customer-ready presentation
  • Reliable Shipping – 4–5 day average delivery with protective packaging
  • Expert Support – Real help from real makers, based in Arizona
  • Education & Community – Resources, inspiration, and a strong community of makers supporting each other

What Sets Us Apart

Marc and John didn’t just build a supply company—they built a community. From the MakerFlo Makers Community Facebook group to tutorials, business tips, and in-person trade shows, they’ve created an ecosystem where makers don’t feel like customers—they feel like family.

At MakerFlo, we’re not chasing trends. We’re setting them. We’re not focused on being the cheapest—we’re focused on being the best partner for makers who take their business seriously.
