Magic Fantastic »
Because I believe the essential service that creative start-ups and small businesses provide to our communities is magical. These organizations are closing the gap between corporate commerce and creative industries in the digital age. Championing fierce authenticity, craftsmanship, and commitment to service, these organizations are game-changers, ushering in a new era of possibility for what infrastructures we model and sustain to enable creative visionaries to craft a living, living their craft.
My craft is to grow creative businesses. My name is Dina Howard and I am on a mission to create high-impact, sustainable oppor-tunities to celebrate art, craft, community, and awesome. Let's get to work »
