About me
For many years now I have been searching for a place to work, create and build community. As a freelance photographer, I have spent hours sitting at cafes ordering coffees just so I would have somewhere outside my bed to edit and work. 5 years as a Theatrical Stage Manager, touring the country with the tight knit community that is musical theatre (if you know you know), getting to be apart of some of the most generous and inspiring performing arts communities out there. And working with artist and makers both as a photographer and Gallery Manager, my love for art, artists and creative process runs deep. The combination of all these experience lead me to this…
The dream to build something different — a space rooted in generosity, accessibility, and genuine collaboration. Where creative people, from full time artists to the casual crafter can connect, develop and share. Bringing together all my creative, managerial, and producing skills to establish a place where people can be artsy & craftsy together. The creative community, I’ve always searched for.
