Hi, I’m Bianca, the one who sparked the idea for Meraki Tuft Studio. Having spent years in the high-pressure corporate world, I was craving a way to escape the stress and find peace. That’s when I discovered tufting. The process was not only calming, but also deeply fulfilling—it allowed me to immerse myself in creativity and mindfulness. I quickly realized that tufting wasn’t just a hobby; it had a profound positive impact on my mental health, and I wanted to share that with others.

During the pandemic in 2020, I noticed that tufting workshops were becoming a rare and sought-after experience. It was a perfect opportunity to introduce this art form to others, especially as it helps people reconnect with their creativity and inner child. Tufting requires focus, multitasking, and imagination—skills that many of us lose touch with as adults. It felt like the perfect way to unwind, escape from everyday struggles, and experience a sense of accomplishment.

The name "Meraki"—a Greek word meaning "to do something with soul, creativity, and love"—perfectly captured the essence of what I wanted this studio to be. Every design detail and architectural choice in the studio was made to create a peaceful, inspiring environment. I envisioned a place where our guests would leave not only with a beautiful rug but with an unforgettable experience, amazed at what they could accomplish.
