jasmine “jaz” parks, founder of childlike creative.
about.
childlike creative was created by jasmine parks, transdisciplinary and multi-medium artist and middle school english teacher.
she is very influenced and inspired by children and how they navigate and negotiate life, experimenting and responding to everything. they are wise, candid, honest, bold, and they believe they can do anything and be anything or anyone. they decide to do something, and then they do. she admires their resilience, reliance on intuition, and playful experimentation and simple discovery of what it is like to be a human in the world through questioning and doing.
her undergraduate degree in child and family studies, along with her first Masters degree in philosophy and 2.5 years in graduate school for architecture has resulted in an interesting personal and professional approach to making. childlike creative is the manifestation of both her personal ethos for making and the name of the business and brand she has created.
childlike creative’s studio/office space is run out of her home in tampa, fl.
a message from the owner:
“hello all! i’m a late twenty-something, middle school English teacher in pursuit of being a full time entrepreneur, small business owner, and artist. I am passionate about creating opportunities for people to experience internal transformation as external expression in the built world through the spaces they inhabit and the physical objects that they get to experience and possess. i am passionate about curating spaces in which people can be fully and unashamedly human with other humans. i am also a lover of creating, giving, and receiving beautiful things for the sake of joy. i’m still trying to figure out how to translate that into my full time, daily work and how that will look and materialize as a business. My interests and curiosities are vast and endless. i have no idea what I’m doing, but if there’s anything I’ve learned, it’s that nobody at all knows what they’re doing. and just like children, we’re all learning as we go on the fly all the time. please follow along my journey to see how this all plays out! grace and peace.”
