Meet the Maker

Hello from Ma Happy Place

Hi! I'm Stephanie and I started Ma Happy Place to offer a quiet escape from screens, a space where hands-on making brings mindful joy. Every design, from the smallest book to the Boston mahjong tiles, is born right here in my studio.

I offer private workshops, custom commissions, and collaborations centered around beautifully tactile, meditative art forms like kintsugi -- the Japanese art of repairing broken things with gold -- and moss art, where living materials become something quietly magical.

Creativity isn't just something you make; it's somewhere you go. My work is an open invitation to anyone craving a little more beauty, calm, and joy in their everyday life. Whether you're looking to try something new, create a one-of-a-kind piece, or simply give yourself permission to play, Ma Happy Place is exactly that -- your happy place!
