About the Artist

I was born and raised in Toledo, OH. Growing up I enjoyed arts & crafts of all types and have turned that passion into an entire career. On my YouTube channel, SoCraftastic, I have over 700 videos that consist of instructional DIYs, art supply testing, craft kit reviews, and more. Over the years, I've gained nearly 2 million subscribers and over 265 million total video views.

 

Fashion, modeling, and photography are some of my other interests. As soon as I could get my hands on a digital camera I was snapping photos of everything in sight - toys, insects, flowers, sunsets, and eventually self-portraits with the timer feature. I don't consider myself a professional photographer by any means though. I'd much rather pose for creative shoots in front of the camera. Especially if there's a vintage aesthetic 

involved - I'm obsessed with classic music from the 70s & 80s along with the movies, tv shows, and clothing.

​

On many different occasions I've combined crafting and fashion together to create various projects. In high school, I sewed candy wrappers to a dress and wore it to a dance. I also would turn empty juice pouches into purses.

​

As I continue pursuing this creative journey I hope to meet more local Creators and collaborate with Brands to bring artistic visions to life. I've had the pleasure of partnering with many different Brands over the past decade - including Michaels, Disney, Skillshare, Seventeen, Best Fiends, BIC, GoldieBlox, Tulip, Graphic Stock, Audible, Snapfish, Storyblocks, FabFitFun, Franklin Park Mall, Wix, and others.
