Meet The Team
Karrie Anne Vitti
Founder of Let’s Craft
I am an educator/staff developer by trade and a people person/crafter at heart. I have spent the past 20 years teaching students and training teachers on how to integrate technology into their curriculum. As a trainer/mentor in addition to working with teachers and students, I have assisted numerous businesses in how to increase their workflow and productivity.
Crafting has always been a passion of mine and having a space where crafting meets technology while being able to teach and mentor is like a dream come true for me. Combining these two passions is how the concept of Let’s Craft was born. Our goal is to bring training, creativity, and access to technologies together in one space to create a community of crafters who can not only have fun while crafting but learn from one another.
I’m looking forward to crafting, training and working with people to create amazing projects for both personal and professional use. I’m excited to share this revolutionary concept of crafting together with you!
Cara Smith
Director of Operations and Innovation
Do you craft for business or pleasure? Pleasure & Business
Why do you craft? I craft so I can put my passion into something tangible. I love being able to start with a concept or a design and bring it to life. Being able to add my own creative expressions and touches to each project makes it personal every time.
What type of crafting is your favorite? I really enjoy woodworking and creating within a digital design space to make signs and decor.
What are your can’t-live-without craft-room essentials? Exacto knife, my measuring tape, a pencil, rotary cutter, staple gun, white chalk, and printer paper.
ANDREA MEHALE
Director of Facilities and Daily Operations
Do you craft for business or pleasure? It started out as a hobby and became a business.
Why do you craft? I have always loved to craft and growing up my mother crafted a lot. When my kids got older when I had started to craft again one thing led to another and it’s become a source of income.
What type of crafting is your favorite? I love sublimation, it’s so versatile the end products are limitless. Bag tags, masks, mugs, puzzles, shirts, socks just to name a few things. I also love laser crafts.
What are your can’t-live-without craft-room essentials? A sublimation printer, heat press, vinyl cutters, and of course a laser.
