Hannah Aryee & Elizabeth Gerideau , looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Alright, so you had your idea and then what happened? Can you walk us through the story of how you went from just an idea to executing on the idea
It all Started with a phone call with me and Elizabeth of manifesting opening a creative studio. That was a year ago, funny thing about speaking life into your plans & goals, it actually comes into fruition. We had found a local space and fell in love! The hardest part was preparing to open the studio!. From countless trips to Home Depot for paint to Facebook marketplace meetups for furniture.
We had our Grand Opening In January, it took 2 months for us to transform our space into a creative studio!
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

Any advice for growing your clientele? What’s been most effective for you?
Since opening the studio we have learned many ways to attract and maintain our clientele.
A few ways are: making sure Our social presence is updated and we post content that is made inside the studio so everyone can see how the studio is being utilize! Another way is to host free creative events so people can see the studio and connect with other creatives.
