Our Core Values

Our work is grounded in five core values that shape our culture and guide our team every day:

Collaborative Spirit — We work together as a team, showing up for each other and for our students so nobody's carrying the studio alone.

Safety — We prioritize a clean, secure, and healthy environment where every student feels safe to try, mess up, and try again.

Respect — We treat students, parents, and staff with respect and professionalism, in every interaction, every time.

Reliability — We show up when we say we will. Dependability and consistency are how our families come to trust us.

Creativity — We think within and outside the box, and we inspire each other to do the same — because creativity is contagious.

Hiring Process

We believe in a thoughtful hiring process that's fair to both you and our studio. Here's what to expect:

1. Application — Submit your resume and a short cover letter.
2. Initial Conversation — Selected candidates will be invited to chat about their experience and fit with our studio's values.
3. Skill Check-In — A brief, informal crochet demonstration or portfolio review.
4. References — We'll reach out to references to learn more about your work and how you show up on a team.
5. Offer — A job offer is extended to the successful candidate.

We value your time throughout the process and aim to communicate promptly at every step.
