Morgan Schaafsma - Profile photo - Owner of Open Hands Creative

Morgan

Owner/Creative Director

Morgan is the creative dreamer and open soul behind it all. Her world has always revolved around art, from an early age she constantly had a paint brush in hand. She was lucky enough to be able to fuel her creativity and nurture it into adulthood. After studying architecture and completing a Master of Applied Arts she knew it was time to start her dream business. She has an exceptional eye for detail, an addiction to organisation and a passion for event styling. She wants to share all forms of creativity with people and help them understand how fulfilling it is to uphold that side of you. The side of you that can explore, that can play and that can create openly. Morgan is also passionate about protecting mother earth, after all nature is the ultimate creative muse. She does her best to live a sustainable life and just wants to inspire others to do the same.
