Bringing your ideas to life on a miniature scale.

I’m Chelsea, a Maker and Miniaturist. I create custom miniatures and content for brands looking to showcase their product in a unique way.

Having started my professional career as a licensed landscape architect, I fell in love with understanding how to build objects and spaces; and, more importantly, with the process of creating architectural scale models.

Outside of the office, I began creating miniatures for myself: tiny versions of a dream home I hoped to one day build. I crafted hundreds of tiny objects for myself and for my hamster Martin, before deciding to share this love of making with other creators. I created a DIY line of dollhouses and furnishings, and began collaborating with artists in the fabrication of custom miniature props and sets.

Following an appearance on the NBC crafting competition TV show Making It, I was finally confident enough to pursue my love of making, and miniatures, full time. I have since created custom content and miniatures for dozens of incredible brands including Warby Parker, Redfin, L'Oréal, and Barbie.

A peek into my world outside of work…

Cozy Homebody:

I love curling up at the end of the day with my Cat Millie and Husband Nick.

DIY-er:

Just a few years ago we purchased our dream, mid century modern house in Connecticut. 

She was a major fixer upper, but with some sweat equity and the help of Youtube University, she’s come a long way.

Outdoor enthusiast:

I love being outside whether to hike, garden, identify plants, or kayak.

Aunt:

I love playing with my two adorable nieces! I’m proud to have helped foster a love of all things tiny (including cats!).

My ideal day would be:

Grabbing a latte, going thrifting, then heading home to work on some crafts and DIY projects.

That’s it for me. Now back to you:
