About

Meet the Founders

Founded by Kana & Martina, HER ATELIER was born from a shared passion for creating meaningful opportunities for women and cultivating spaces where women can thrive. Their journey began in November 2021 with the launch of HER Market, a celebrated destination for discovering and supporting women-owned businesses through curated marketplaces and community-driven experiences.

That firsthand experience shaped their mission: to create intentional experiences that help women gain visibility, forge valuable connections, and grow with confidence.

Through HER Market, they discovered something powerful — that meaningful growth happens through meaningful relationships. The conversations sparked at their markets, the collaborations formed, the friendships built — all pointed toward a deeper need: dedicated spaces for women to connect beyond the marketplace.

That insight became HER ATELIER. Now, Kana & Martina channel their experience building community into curated networking socials designed exclusively for women — spaces where entrepreneurs, professionals, creatives, and community leaders come together for authentic conversation, genuine connection, and the kind of relationships that help careers and businesses flourish.

From HER Market to HER ATELIER, the core value has never changed: when women build spaces for other women to connect, everyone grows.

Introducing HER ATELIER

HER ATELIER is our newest event concept—and perhaps our most personal one yet.

Created for women who have outgrown traditional networking, HER ATELIER reimagines what connection can look like. It was born from a simple observation: many women are craving something deeper than exchanging business cards, making small talk, or navigating transactional networking environments.

HER ATELIER is a thoughtfully curated social experience designed for women seeking authentic connection, meaningful friendships, inspiring conversations, and a genuine sense of belonging. Through guided connection experiences, intentional programming, and elevated event design, we create spaces where women can show up as themselves and build relationships rooted in mutual support, honesty, and growth.

Whether you're building a business, navigating a new chapter of life, expanding your social circle, or simply looking for your people, HER ATELIER offers a refreshing alternative to conventional networking.

Because connection isn't just about who you know—it's about finding the women who truly understand your journey.

Welcome to HER ATELIER. A new way to gather, connect, and belong.
