Meet Shana, Founder of Creative Friends, LLC 

Hello, I’m Shana, creator, teacher, and the proud owner of Creative Friends, LLC.

I’ve always had a passion for creating, but my journey into building this business began during one of life’s unexpected turns. After experiencing back issues and nerve damage, I had to rethink how I could support my family. That challenge led me back to my creative roots and inspired me to turn my love for designing into a business that continues to grow and evolve.

After growing up across the U.S., I eventually settled back in Minnesota, where I’m surrounded by incredible friends, family, and my two rescue dogs who keep me grounded and inspired, both in life and in business.

Creative Friends allows me to combine my love for crafting, attention to detail, and passion for  teaching others. Whether I’m creating custom products, hosting creative workshops, or helping others explore their own talents, this business is built on care, dedication, and the joy of creating with others.

At Creative Friends, we’re not just making products, we’re building connections, sharing creativity, and welcoming everyone into a growing creative community.
