Creative expression has always been a big part of who I am. From developing my own black and white photography in high school to planning social mixers as a resident assistant in college, I’ve always loved bringing ideas to life, DIY projects, and creating meaningful experiences that bring people closer to themselves and to each other.

After feeling stuck in a rigid corporate world, I started Five Lanterns Studio to reclaim a space for myself (and others) to slow down and reconnect to their innate creativity.

MEET YOUR MAKER

My goal is simple: help people enjoy the process, embrace imperfections, and find joy in making something beautiful. At Five Lanterns, making is more than a hobby. It's a form of self-care, it's a doorway to connection, and a small rebellion against burnout culture.

Celebrating the process of making for the sake of making.

Slowing down isn't lazy, it's powerful. Five Lantern workshops give you permission to pause, breathe, and make something beautiful with your own hands. Put down the doomscroll and pick up a paintbrush.

Making things is more fun when you're not doing it alone. Our craft workshops are all about connection. Come with friends, meet new ones, and leave lighter, brighter, and way less stressed.

At Five Lanterns Studio, we believe creativity should feel fun and approachable. We created a space for women who are burnt out, bored, or just want to avoid their to-do list. We got a seat for you.
