Our Team

I develop creative events and physical spaces which foster artistic and personal growth. I also spend my days enjoying my family - and you’ll always find a camera in my hand. I received my BA from Spring Arbor. I love live music + inspiring creativity.

I am a Graphic Design major at the University of Saint Francis. I love all forms of art, but my favorites are painting, music and poetry. I collect vinyl for fun! #InTheBellyAlum #Classof2021

I have been working with and developing students and creatives for over 25 years.  I am a serial entrepreneur, a songwriter and performer, a father of five and a husband of one. I love working with creatives mostly because I am one.

I’m a dancer, play piano, love being outside and playing with my puppy, reading, enjoy live music and fashion. My dream job is something involving traveling and psychology! I am currently studying Psychology at Purdue Fort Wayne.

I am a full time student at Indiana Wesleyan studying Elementary Ed/Special Ed. I enjoy being a photographer outside of school and playing soccer. I am also bilingual! Tambien hablo Espanol!! #InTheBellyAlum #Classof2021

I’m Roman, like the empire. I like to write poetry, go on walks, and eat good food (though that’s ironic because I have 36 allergies). I like to study history and am a full time student at Valparaiso University. See you at The Garden soon!

Hi, I'm Ily! (pronounced eye-lee) I love sculpting and painting and am planning on going to school to study fine arts. I have a small art business called Skye Magic, and I love selling at the Night Markets here at The Garden! In the future I'd love to have a storefront and make props for film and theatre. #InTheBellyStudent #Classof2023

I love getting to take vegetables from seed to fruit. But, more importantly I am excited to watch how the things we grow in the urban garden can be used to help others.

Bio coming soon…

I am a relationship-building, communication, and development specialist with 15 years of experience growing and serving nonprofit and small business missions and visions. I am a passionate artist, writer, and servant leader, intent on bridging the gap for underserved populations and leaving places better than I found them.

My creative outlets are makeup, painting, and watercolor. I like working with anything I can get my hands on. I love reading, coffee, and music. My dream job is designing makeup for stage or film. I attend DePaul University full time. #InTheBellyAlum #Classof2022

I am a first generation immigrant student at the University of Saint Francis. My love for art and helping others led me to pursue a passion for Public Relations! I enjoy eating a variety of food and being a cat mom off the clock.

I love sports and nature. I aspire to be a teacher as a future career after college. Currently, I do volleyball and softball at Concordia. I'm a sophmore at Concordia Lutheran High School.. #Classof2026
