Mike graduated from UW-Madison in 2021 with degrees in botany and entomology and has been fortunate to spend his summers working on science projects spending lots of time outside looking for cool plants and bugs! He is a lifelong crafter and musician and enjoys making fancy eggs (pysanky) and stained glass. He also loves to play the guitar and is excited to share with the Creative Soul family.

A trained postpartum doula and self-described craft nerd, Shalon has spent most of her career in the non-profit sector, managing volunteer programs for basic needs organizations. When not in the kitchen making desserts with her two kids, she can be found tackling her extensive backlog of fiber arts projects, pondering existential questions like, "how much yarn is too much yarn?", and writing queer love stories.

Kristin is going to be a junior in the fall studying Human Development and Family Studies at UW-Madison. She has a passion for working with children, they teach her something new everyday and they know how to keep her smiling. Outside of work and school, you can find her listening to music, at a local coffee shop, and spending time with her loved ones. She loves being a part of Creative Soul and their focus on enriching children to explore and be creative!
