Meet Our Team!
Karen Bussell, Back Office
Karen is our payroll guru, our numbers wizard, and a prime source of crazy (or brilliant?) ideas. When not wrestling with temperamental numbers, she enjoys gardening and exploring the universes tucked between book pages. She is a rare sighting in the front of the store, but is always close at hand for anyone wanting to discuss their crazy ideas!
Samuel Hildebrand, Senior Clerk and Inventory
Samuel is one of the store clerks, but most notably, oversees the inventory for Needful Things. He brings excellent service to both customers and vendors. Samuel enjoys helping customers find their "Needful Thing" and assisting vendors with their items and booths. When not at work, he enjoys reading, art, paleontological pursuits and studies, mortuary sciences, and his silly cats.
Angela Bussell, Manager
Angela is the manager of all things Needful Things Market. As both a vendor and a member of our management team, Angela offers an in-depth perspective on how to best serve our customers and vendors. She loves collecting new data to improve everyone’s experience here at Needful Things Market! When Angela isn’t knee-deep in the day-to-day doings at Needful Things Market, she can be found paddling Oklahoma’s beautiful lakes in search of driftwood for her handmade wind chimes and lamps.
Aiphum Martin, Manager
Aiphum started as a Vendor here at Needful Things and is now one of the creative minds behind the Magic. Lover of the whimsical, vintage, and fae-nature inspired, they bring a bleeding heart, imagination, and a touch of mischief to everything they do. When they aren’t doing booth rentals or planning the next big event for the store, you can find her crafting, writing, or hiking.
