Tell us more about your job or company and what led you to your career?
Whether it’s through my soul-nourishing CREATIVITY PARTIES, original masterPEACES or MURALS, full of BOLD color, fun stick figures donning red sneakers or the Own Your Peace DAILY PLANNER, my purpose on this earth is to help you rediscover your POWER through creativity and community. Why? Because from this space we can ALL heal. In this space we are equal and our possibilities are infinite. In this space, we are AT PEACE. We ARE creativity.

What would your clients say about you and your company?
The one story that sticks out to me the most: a woman came to a creativity party and after the event let me know that she wasn’t going to come because her husband had stage four cancer and she was taking care of him. But, she was happy she came because she felt so much lighter and free-er after creating with me. That is everything to me!
