The Dabble Squad
I am so excited to introduce you all to my new team!
With the expansion + offerings at District DabbleLab, I had to find the most AMAZING Dabble Squad to do it with me!
See you all soon!

I am a Graphic Designer and Photographer with a love of all things creative! I have always been crafting since I can remember. From customizing my clothing, to drawing, painting, and upcycling materials, I live to dabble.
My favorite craft to dabble in is collage. I like bringing things together to create something new and tell a story.
A fun fact about me is that I entered a recycled art competition. For my entry, I made a personalized, shiny, and fabulous handbag out of a cardboard box, newspaper clippings, and found materials!
I find inspiration by thrifting, visiting museums, watching movies, and listening to music.
My favorite thing about the DabbleLab is the mission! As a creative, I believe in the power of play and exploration. I love working as a team, teaching students, and learning from one another along the way.
Hi, I’m Kate:) I’ve been doing art all my life; was an assistant art teacher in Middle School. Since then, I’ve instructed (in other fields) approximately 50+ students, between 5-18, who I was proud and inspired to see grow in skill, motivation, and excitement!
I make a lot of my own jewelry, using jump rings, delicate chains, and wire wrapping pearls/tiny gemstone charms! My favorite pieces to make are gold filled necklaces and drop earrings, which I often give as gifts to my friends and family.
When I was growing up overseas, my school adopted and sponsored two baby pandas— we got to visit and they were extremely adorable.
My go-to creative inspiration is YouTube. I love how instructive it is, I feel like I’ve learned so many crafts, skills, and creative projects from instructional videos! I love adding my own twist on it to make it truly personalized.
I love the environment of DabbleLab— the space is incredible, filled to the brim with creativity. Everyone is kind and supportive, clearly passionate about teaching. I’ve said more than a few times that, as a kid, it would’ve be my absolute dream!
Art has always been a kind of therapy for me. Ever since I was little, I would go all out for every class project and my favorite summer camp was at the arts center, where I would delve into new mediums each day, from painting, to ceramics, to wood work, sculpture and design, and so much more!
I particularly appreciate dabbling in collaging, painting, pottery and poetry in my free time.
Sometimes, my creative juices don’t start flowing until the wee hours of the night. But I love the idea of painting, or crafting alone in my room at 3 AM when the rest of the world seems asleep…just me and my imagination.
I pride myself on my playlist making abilities, so anywhere I can take my headphones or tunes becomes a safe creative space for me.
I love being able to meet new creatives of all ages, backgrounds and approaches, developing new relationships and building off one another’s inspiring creative endeavors. What better place to do that than the District DabbleLab?!
