Meet the Crafty Studio Owner

I'm Shai Johnson, the founder and lifelong crafty girlie behind Ethereal Craft Studio. My life has been one long, joyful pursuit of creation, as a child I hand-sewed tiny clothes for my Bratz dolls and designed my own garments, to launching a small baking business, and even developing a makeup line with my husband called Chentilly Cosmetics.

My journey before entrepreneurship was rooted in education and leadership as an Educator, School Assistant Director, and DEI specialist. This background taught me the essential art of curriculum design, resource development, and community-building. I personally invested hours of creativity in developing impactful phonics/literacy and culturally responsive curricula and resources, all while cultivating collaborative spaces that ensured the effective functioning of the entire educational ecosystem—from educators, students and families to the classroom environment. My deep respect and appreciation for the field of Education and its professionals will always be a guiding part of my work.

Ethereal Craft Studio is the place where I get to be my quirky, multi-faceted self, pouring all that diverse crafting experience into Ethereal Crafts. I hope you enjoy these crafts as much as I've enjoyed bringing them to life!
