Tiffany Chou: Making, Advocacy, and the Heart Behind Depo Market

Today I’m talking with Tiffany Chow, jewelry artist and founder of Depo Market on Maui — a beautiful little shop that’s part boutique, part community, and entirely built from love.Tiffany’s path has been anything but ordinary. After studying at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and running a successful jewelry line in New York, she felt an intuitive pull to move home to Hawaii. That decision led her to care for her brother, Chris — and ultimately to build a business that creates meaningful work for people with disabilities while bringing awareness and connection to her island community.In this conversation, Tiffany shares how Depo Market began as a pop-up for Chris and grew into a mission-driven storefront. We talk about caregiving, art as a bridge for belonging, and the realities of running a small, heart-centered business on Maui while raising a young daughter. It’s a story about purpose finding you when you least expect it — and how one act of love can ripple out to change everything.Follow Tiffany:Instagram: @depo_marketTikTok: @depomarketWebsite: depomarket.orgLove the Podcast?Support an episode: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here to learn more!⁠⁠⁠⁠Without your support I couldn’t continue the Slowmade Podcast.
