A lil bit about me…

A good place for us to start, is for you to understand the type of person I am. I get completely overjoyed by glitter, think more is more when it comes to glitter, and it couldn’t bother me less than having glitter stuck to my hands. I give toddlers high fives when they’re covered in paint instead of giving them a wet wipe. I help take their socks off when they try climbing into a sensory bin so they can feel with not only their fingers but their toes too. And no matter how many times I get handed a playdough cupcake, I will pretend to eat it as enthusiastically as if it were the first time. This is why I left the advertising world as a graphic designer at Mother NY,  and said goodbye to my role as a senior designer with J.Crew’s creative marketing team, because what I have found complete joy in is creating magical moments for toddlers and their parents. Pop Art! Kids came to life during the height of covid. I had 3 children under 5, preschools, playgrounds and playdates were put on hold but I wanted a safe, outdoor option to be able to give my children and our community a creative outlet. 

This program is as much for your children as it is for you. Every class at Pop Art! kids is a caregiver-and-child class. As much as drop-off programming is needed and appreciated (by myself included!) What I’m building here at Pop Art! Kids is a community for children and parents or caregiver to build a creative relationship with one another. For parents to not only share joy in their own child’s’ discoveries but to appreciate the company of other like-minded creative families and to build a community together. Registering for a session is so much more than signing your child up for another class. You’re being welcomed into a Reggio inspired creative community that wants to get to know you both. In the effort I put into making sure your child is being surrounded by materials and tools to start them on a path towards creative independence, I will also be making the same effort to educate parents on the benefits of everything we practice in class.

Thank you for joining me on this incredible (and messy) journey.
