Company & Team Creative Gatherings

Whether you're hosting a happy hour, onboarding new team members, planning an offsite, or simply looking for a meaningful way to connect your team, I make the entire experience effortless from start to finish.

With over 50+ events facilitated, I understand the flow, timing, and energy required to bring hands-on creativity into company spaces, from intimate leadership gatherings to teams of 50+.

As creative professionals, we often spend so much time producing that we forget to simply create freely. These hands-on experiences turn an ordinary lunch break or afternoon happy hour into a meaningful moment of connection, calm, and play.

I arrive with everything needed to transform your space — seasonal botanicals, textiles, natural pigments, and a touch of creative alchemy. Together, we’ll pause, explore, and discover the joy of making something by hand with each other.

Bottom right captures a person pouring water into a bowl at the table with flower arrangements and drinks.

Natural Dye Potion Bar is a hands-on, sensory art experience that blends creativity, natural dyes, and a touch of magic.

I bring a fully curated dye apothecary to your event — complete with natural pigments, dried botanicals, and plant extracts. Guests are invited to explore and experiment, learning how natural dyes are created and where these beautiful colors come from in nature. Together, we’ll mix ingredients to craft signature color potions inspired by flowers, roots, and leaves.

These “potions” are then used to dye natural-fiber cotton bandanas, revealing soft, organic hues and one-of-a-kind patterns. The process is as relaxing as it is inspiring equal parts art, science, and mindfulness.

Perfect for indoor or outdoor gatherings. Ideal for creative breaks, lunch sessions, or afternoon happy hours that spark curiosity, connection, and joy.

Botanical Solar Dyeing

Solar dyeing is a playful, hands-on art form that combines the magic of nature, sunlight, and creativity.

Using a solar-reactive, non-toxic pigment, guests apply color that goes on almost clear — then transforms before your eyes, developing vibrant hues as it bonds to natural fabric in the sunlight.

Each guest will design and dye their own one-of-a-kind silk scarf, choosing from a rainbow of colors and seasonal botanicals. Every guest also receives a take-home container for easy, long-lasting care.

Duration: 1.5 hours
Setup: Works beautifully with sunlight access — outdoors or on a balcony. For later-afternoon or indoor sessions, I bring UV lights to create a magical glowing effect that mimics sunlight

Why It Matters

I created these experiences to offer a space to slow down, reconnect, and create without expectations. Dye on the Side was born from my journey in corporate fashion, transforming my own healing practice into a space where creativity, sustainability, and well-being intersect. I deeply understand how valuable these creative gatherings are for connecting colleagues and fostering lasting connections.

These creative experiences encourage:

  • Connection — building community through shared creative play

  • Calm — reducing stress and inviting mindfulness through hands-on making

  • Innovation — enhancing problem-solving and fresh thinking

  • Joy — reminding us that creativity is a practice, not a performance

  • Nature — connecting with the seasons and plants around us
