About Us

Hey there! I am Valerie

and I am the owner of Made Joyful. I started this journey back in 2020 as a creative outlet and over time my mission has become to empower each of you to embrace your God given creativity. Part of what we are building at Made Joyful is an eventual in person studio space for my son, Carter, and other friends with disabilities to work with us. I can't wait to meet you and help you find your creative spark!
