About me

Hi, I’m Noavakay.
I’m a designer, maker, and lifelong believer in the magic of shared creative spaces.

For over a decade, I’ve worked in fashion and product design, crafting everything from one-of-a-kind garments to sustainable kids’ clothing lines. I’ve also spent years in studios, theaters, and collaborative workshops where the best ideas always seemed to happen around a shared table.

Makers Love Company grew from my love of that table, the conversations, the problem-solving, the sparks of inspiration you can’t get alone. Now I’m opening my doors for makers, artists, thinkers, and dreamers to come together, create, and connect.

Whether you come with a plan or just curiosity, you’ll find a place here.
