Meet the Maker is a new series of features highlighting some of the most amazing makers across the North Shore! We will be featuring a handful of new makers every Monday to hopefully help mitigate the added financial strain that the COVID-19 pandemic has brought to the creative community.

What inspires or speaks to your creative process?
I love to unwind and relax with creating fun, new, and exciting projects for my home, and I love to get my hands messy and work through the creative process.
Has the COVID-19 pandemic affected your business?
Yes, we expect to lose about $10,000 over the next month.
What measures are you taking to reduce lost revenue?
We are working with a tightly reduced workforce and we have pivoted our business a model to offer “Door Dash Crafts” where we deliver the craft project to you at home!
