Make Space is for all of YOU — the chatty, the quiet, the “i just wanna glue stuff,” and the “i’m just here for the vibes.”
it’s for the folks who want to show up, make some noise, or just zone out with scissors and paper. no experience needed, no pressure necessary💛 + link in bio to join the space✨

three things— one, @communityweek.nyc had me in a beautifully validating conversation with fellow community builders this past week. thank you @on.weeknights@sugary.nyc for gathering us. and everyone that was part of this conversation — @recessgrove@joustsociety@storytellnyc@57.nyc
two, our next @justmakespace gathering is next sunday and we’re going to be rolling around in grass and drawing each other at the park (byo-drawing tools ☀️🌳, link in bio to rsvp)
three, i’m wearing one of our merch t-shirt. i designed them based on the visual identity i’ve been developing for us since last october. they’re fun and playful and fit my name tag very satisfyingly (link in bio to shop)

i started writing post-event founders’ notes and reflections in our substack newsletter (link in bio to subscribe). i love leaving reminders to come back to, for future recordings. 💛

the design pulls from the same sketches and visual world that you will recognize from our monthly event posters: tools, materials, and the playful spirit of making with your hands!
