The people here make St. Louis
but something about St. Louis makes our people, too.
Nowhere does the spirit of being STLMade shine brighter than in the stories of the people who live here. It doesn’t have to mean you physically make something (but it might) or that you were born here (but it could). Being STLMade is about being part of our region in ways that make it grow and make it stronger – a city able to create more opportunities for more people.
Our STLMade neighbors are changing this region from the ground up, and this is the place to get to know them.
Follow us as we follow the STL. Use #STLMade on social when you see the good to share the love. And help us tell the stories that make us, us.
