In the Making: Pricing Goods & Services
“The challenge for me is trying to keep as big a vision as I can of myself—of my future—even if it’s the next two weeks, the next month, or forty years down the road, keeping all that in perspective and then pricing as best as I can knowing I can’t really price what these cost.”
Crafting a Business — On May 14, 2026, NBSS alumni Kolin Schmidt CF ’21 and Mitchel Gundrum BB ’21 offered fresh, grounded and timely perspectives on how to price one’s work. As we navigate tariffs and broader financial unease—especially as craftspeople—this topic has never been more crucial. Both Kolin and Mitchel create and sell products while offering services, and they shared what they’ve learned about building their brands through the lens of pricing.
