My creative journey started with my kids. I began making their birthday cakes and invitations, and before long, people started asking, “Where did you get that?” Those questions sparked an idea: maybe this thing I loved doing could become a business. What started with paper eventually grew into Simply Chaslyn.
I’ve been creating for more than 15 years, and along the way I discovered something I never expected—I absolutely love bringing people together through creativity. I believe God has given me this gift, and I want to steward it well. There is something special about creating something you weren’t sure you could make and then stepping back and saying, “I made that!” I love helping other people experience that same feeling.
My background is in teaching, and it’s a love I didn’t realize I had until I began doing it. Today, I combine my love of teaching and creativity through creative experiences and workshops. While I’ve been teaching creative experiences for about a year, I’ve had the opportunity to work with nonprofits, teachers, and groups of 5–25 people to create meaningful experiences together.
For me, my workshops are about more than making a craft. They are an experience—a place to gather, connect, laugh, create, and leave with something meaningful. I especially love home décor, so many of the things I create are designed to become part of your home and tell a story that is personal to you.
And here’s something people might not expect: I don’t consider myself a “crafty” person. But I am made in my Father’s image, and my Father is a Creator. I stand on that. That belief is also at the heart of my workshops. You don’t have to consider yourself creative or have any special skills to create something beautiful. I believe there is creativity in all of us, and sometimes we just need someone to help us discover it.
At the heart of Simply Chaslyn Designs, I simply love people. I want to use the gift God has given me to create community and show the love of Jesus Christ in a simple, genuine way—through creativity, connection, and shared experiences.
I love to create, and I would love to create with you!
