THE CRÉATIF STORY

THE CRÉATIF STORY

The idea to start Créatif sparked when founder, Jaya Aiyar, was making a painting with her kids, for their friends’ new house. She realized that while the entertainment and children’s activity industry was in high demand, there were no art studio concepts suitable for kids & adults that also integrated Art with Technology.

It was the beginning of a thought that developed into Créatif whose objective was to create an experiential and meaningful art destination.

My vision for Créatif is to become a brand that redefines what an Art Studio is. By integrating Art with Technology, we have transformed the traditional art studio into an exciting and experiential community destination. I’m thrilled to see us becoming an integral part of our customer’s meaningful experiences, their artistic development and their cherished memories.

I’m thrilled to see us becoming an integral part of our customer’s meaningful experiences, their artistic development and their cherished memories.

Interestingly enough, Jaya did not have a formal background in Art – it was more a hobby, a passion. But when the idea sparked, she recognized the opportunity to create an experiential Art Studio brand that was appealing to families and art enthusiasts of all ages.

Coming from the technology industry and with two children of her own, she understood the need to incorporate technology into today’s Art Studio, making it more appealing and relevant. She dedicated her time to conceptualize the design esthetics of the studio, and to find an appropriate location for our flagship studio. After months of planning, the first Créatif studio opened its doors in Pleasanton, California in August 2018. It’s been a huge hit since then.

Now, our goal is to expand our artistic enterprise with the help of motivated entrepreneurs like you who can open studio locations in new territories.

Join us as we help paint a brighter future for local families, for their surrounding communities, and for independent franchise owners!
