Blake McFarland
We've got an up-cycler in McFarland. But there's a backstory to this.
He used to be a professional athlete, played baseball for eight years for the Toronto Blue Jays. Unfortunately, a shoulder injury ended his career, and later, he channeled all of his pent-up energy into making crafts.

He is a Disney lover and hopes to become an Imagineer someday.
Becca Barnet
Barnet used art as a way to escape from the teasing at school. She was often dubbed "awkward." Fortunately, she received support from his father, who encouraged her to go to school and become an artist. She completed BFA in illustration, following which she went to the Missouri Taxidermy Institute. Barnet is a South Carolina native, where she lives with her husband and son.

Chelsea Andersson
A truly gifted Californian, Andersson's focus has always been dollhouses, miniatures, and paper crafter sets for stop motion ad campaigns. Raised in New York, this crafter always found herself surrounded by creativity. Her dad taught her not to be scared of power tools, while her mother shared gardening and sowing skills. When not creating magic with her craftworks, she is hiking.
