I opened Make Art Studio in 2014 in downtown Ann Arbor, Michigan.  What started out as a word of mouth creativity space quickly moved into a full scale art studio with weekly classes, summer and school break camps to birthday parties.

​

Creativity and innovation go hand in hand.  Learning to disconnect to connect was the biggest lesson of observing children make and play.  Periods of focus and expansion with classes being 2-3 hours for kids to take the pressure off of making.  Allowing true creativity to come forth.
