We’re Alexa and Anna, the passionate founders behind this unique space dedicated to empowering your artistic journey. Our story began in 2016 on the lively grounds of our university, where we discovered a shared love for art and the transformative experience of crafting by hand. That passion took us on an inspiring trip to New York, igniting the vision that would later become Nacre Creative. By 2024, our dream took shape, and we launched Nacre Creative to bring creativity and peace into homes worldwide.

The importance of mental health is deeply personal to us. As children, we loved crafting and creating, finding joy and fulfillment in those simple moments. But as the years passed, the demands of adult life began to overshadow that childhood passion. The idea of embarking on a creative project—finding time, gathering supplies, and dedicating ourselves to it—started to seem increasingly difficult. Both of us worked in fast-paced corporate environments, feeling the weight of stress and the creeping effects of burnout, which took a toll on our mental well-being.

It was during these moments that we longed for the times when our only task in the afternoons was to create something beautiful with our mom, in summer craft camps, or with friends, where we felt truly connected and at peace. This nostalgia reminded us of what was missing from our busy adult lives: the joy of creating, listening to our inner selves, and embracing the feminine flow of creativity.

This realization inspired us to create Nacre Creative, aiming to remove the barriers that held us back from crafting and to help others do the same. We curate high-quality, all-inclusive DIY kits so that adults can focus solely on the experience of creating, enjoying, and taking time for themselves—without the stress of preparation. Our kits offer a chance to reconnect with that essential part of yourself, allowing you to unwind, nourish your mind, and support your mental health.

At Nacre Creative, we believe that crafting is more than just a hobby; it’s a form of self-care. We invite you to find your peace, express your creativity, and feel the joy of creating something uniquely yours. Join us, and let’s bring the magic of making back into your life. 🌟
