With a Fine Arts background and a passion for sparking imagination, I love bringing people together through art.

Why I decided to run my own Creation Station…
IΒ decided to run my own Creation Station because Iβm absolutely fascinated by the magic that happens when people let their imaginations run wild! There’s something truly inspiring about watching ideas come to life, and Iβve always dreamed of hosting fun, creative events where people can make art, share stories, and build a vibrant, crafty community. Plus, Iβm a bit of a craft addict myselfβIβm always picking up new hobbies (probably more than I should, but whoβs counting?), so this is the perfect way to dive headfirst into the creative chaos!
What I did before I ran my own Creation Station…
Before starting my Creation Station adventure, Iβve been lucky to follow some fun, creative paths. I earned a BFA in Fine Arts and Art History from FIT in NYC, which led me to design rugs for luxury brands like Chanel and Louis Vuitton, working in both NYC and Melbourne. I also spent time in galleries, collaborating with artists and even showcasing some of my own pieces. Along the way, I picked up certificates in English and yoga teaching, and Iβve taught students from Spain, China, Japan, and Taiwanβwhich was such a rewarding experience!
Most recently, Iβm a digital producer for a wellness company in NYC, where I wear many hats, from managing digital production to handling music licensing. On the side, I love getting creative by giving upcycled clothing a fresh spin with playful screen printing and painting. Creativity has always been at the heart of everything I do!
What I love about running my own Creation Stationβ¦
What I think I will love about running my own Creation Station is being able to see both kids and adults let their imaginations run wild, creating things they didnβt even know they could. It will be amazing to watch their pride and excitement when they see what they’ve brought to life! That sense of joy and accomplishment is contagious, and it will make the whole experience so rewarding..
Things I love doingβ¦Β I have a bunch of hobbies that keep me busy and inspired! I love paddleboarding, swimming, playing tennis, and taking long walks with my greyhound. When Iβm not outdoors, youβll find me experimenting in the kitchen, diving into craft projects, painting, practicing yoga, weight training at the gym or planning my next travel adventure.
