About Me

Welcome to Studio419DC, a creative design business located in the heart of Washington, DC. Founded in 2022, we offer a wide range of journals, and more—all thoughtfully designed by me, NeKola, the owner.

My Journey

With a Master’s Degree in Business and years of experience as an elementary and middle school teacher, I've always loved exploring the intersection of learning, creativity, and making things that spark joy. As a mom to two incredible girls, my world is filled with imagination and inspiration, and much of that is infused into the work I create.

Over the years, Studio419DC has evolved into a space where design meets heartfelt creativity. Everything I create is fueled by my love for crafting and the joy it brings to others.

What We Offer

At Studio419DC, we blend creativity with practicality to offer:

• Journals & Planners: Thoughtfully designed pieces that are both stylish and functional.

• Personalized Gifts: Including name puzzles.

• Workshops & Classes: Helping others explore crafting techniques like laser cutting and bookbinding.

The Heart Behind the Studio

Studio419DC is more than just an online store; it's a source of happiness for me and my customers. I love seeing the joy my creations bring to others and always strive to make a meaningful impact.

Through crafting, I aim to inspire others to embrace their unique style and try something new. My recent endeavors focus on empowering designs and projects that inspire joy and confidence for all ages.

I'm also committed to growing alongside my community of fellow creators, attending events like Sublimation Camp and papercrafting workshops to continuously learn, share, and innovate.
