Kendall Maurice Piedra

Owner of Savannah Custom Creations

It all began for Kendall several years before he opened his shop in Savannah, GA. From the moment he got his first job at a young age, it was in his heart and mind to become a business owner and to have the freedom to pursue his artistic passions however he sought fit. He gained his experience with personalized and handmade jewelry working in a kiosk in Hilton Head, SC for over seven years. Following this foundation, Kendall took his expertise to various festivals, selling his own crafts and establishing a loyal, returning customer base. After considerable patience and hard work, in March 2019, Kendall took a significant step and opened his first booth at the River Street Marketplace. He initially focused on personalized coastal-styled jewelry, managing the shop while also participating in festivals throughout the southeast. In March 2023, Kendall recognized an opportunity for expansion and constructed an additional area to feature handmade local items and fair trade crafts from around the world. Today, Kendall continues to evolve his business, introducing a collection of items that reflect a unique perspective, distinguishing them from typical souvenirs found in Savannah, GA.

Adrienne May Schwartz

Marketing Specialist & Local Artist

Adrienne joined Kendall on his small business journey shortly after their paths crossed back in 2022. She pursued a fresh start that led her to the Savannah, GA area and decided to leave the 9 to 5 corporate world officially right in time for Kendall to introduce the second portion of the business. The new handmade from around the world booth also features Adrienne’s hand-painted work. Her artistic contributions have become a significant reason why visitors to Savannah are drawn back to the Marketplace and Savannah Custom Creations. With her keen eye for design and solid marketing strategies, Adrienne has played a vital role in the success and growth of the business, making it a destination for creativity and handmade appreciation.
