The journey I never knew I needed… until it became the one that changed everything.
Opening wasn’t part of a master plan.
It started as a feeling, a tiny idea that refused to leave me alone. And somehow, that idea turned into a space that has pushed me, grown me, challenged me, and taught me more than any book, job, or class ever could.
Owning a local small business shows you things you can’t learn anywhere else.
You learn how to keep going before the results show up.
You learn how to trust yourself when no one’s watching.
You learn that community is built through consistency, not chance.
And you learn that sometimes the thing you create ends up shaping you right back.
This studio has seen late nights, packed workshops, messy progress, and some of the most meaningful people I’ve ever met.
It became more than a business.
It’s the home for creativity, creators, and connection.
So if you’ve ever wondered what happens when you bet on yourself…it looks like this.
Thank you Grand Rapids.
And happy Small Business Saturday.
Cheers ☕️
