NEST'S VAN BERGEN LINKS JEWELRY ARTISANS TO MARKETS

Here comes the new economy we all hoped and prayed for, compliments of Nest, a nonprofit firm co-founded by Rebecca Van Bergen. Nest’s mission is to provide business development services and funding to jewelry artisans and other craft workers. Then Nest connects their clients to major market retail outlets.
