Haven Collaborative Spaces is an innovative initiative aimed at transforming the creative landscape in underserved communities. Inspired by the challenges faced by young creatives in small towns, Haven seeks to empower individuals to pursue their artistic passions and build viable careers in the creative sector.

Participants benefit from: scholarship opportunities, mentorship programs connecting them with experienced professionals, and insight into diverse creative career paths.

By challenging outdated perceptions of creative careers, Haven highlights the essential contributions of artists and designers to society. This initiative not only nurtures talent but also promotes a broader appreciation for the arts, paving the way for a new generation of creatives to flourish.

The home of small town creativity

Haven integrates essential tools and resources utilized by artists and designers, emphasizing the limitless potential of creativity. The focus is on fostering an environment that encourages continuous growth and exploration for all creatives.

Determining a designer’s narrative has always centered on the aspiration to inspire future generations of designers. Growing up in an environment where creativity was not recognized as a viable career option highlighted the challenges faced by peers who were unable to nurture their artistic talents.

Haven aims to demonstrate that individuals in small towns can indeed spread their creative wings, developing innovative design solutions that cater to diverse needs.

Haven is designed for high school and college students to collaborate in a dedicated creative space. Drawing from the experience of a college graduate who returned home, it is evident that having a focused environment for study and work significantly enhances productivity. This space fosters collaboration and provides valuable opportunities for feedback from peers and experienced designers with diverse perspectives, ultimately enriching the creative process and supporting the development of innovative ideas among aspiring artists and designers.

Special thanks to Mattie Elkin and Samantha Hall for being my lovely models for this project.

This is for all the creative people I met at SCAD that came from small towns just like me. Let’s make a better place for those just like us.
