I’m a cultural advocate and bon vivant, a lover of laughter and good food. I sing decently, hug freely (but only if you’re a “hugger”), and I don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story. I’m a ukulele slinger and I play electric bass with a band of friends; if we ever have a public gig, I’ll let you know! I left a job working for someone else in 2009, and have been growing The Studio ever since. I’ve hosted gallery exhibits, experimental music evenings, pop-up events, and sunset parties on top of the city’s parking garage, and I look forward to whatever adventures the future holds.
The Studio
is my vision for a brighter tomorrow — or at least a tomorrow that has more laughter in it. Everything is chosen with an eye for delight and joy, and I will happily share the stories about the makers, the product, and why it’s special to the shop. The Studio’s free gift wrapping elevates any purchase — especially if it’s a gift for you! It’s just part of a meticulous attention to detail that you won’t find anywhere else in the area.
