Rachel is a dedicated grants professional with 10+ years of experience working with nonprofits. She is an avid crafter and cook and working on developing a green thumb. SCRAP's emphasis on re-use and joyful creativity brought her in as a volunteer and now as a Board Member. She is looking forward to supporting SCRAP in all its efforts, particularly in helping build a stable financial foundation for the organization.
Graduate of NYU, Kim has always made a point to surround herself with communities of creative and thoughtful people. With her two kids out of the house and on their own, she has more time to craft, volunteer, and think about ways materials in our everyday life can be reused and recycled. When she isn’t behind the counter you will find her sewing with the fabrics she’s rummaged for at the store and traveling the globe. After furnishing a house with all reclaimed items and furniture she is looking for that next big (or small) project.
After retiring from her career in Corporate Finance, Karen finally has enough time to devote to her crafting. Her primary hobby is collecting craft supplies (thanks to SCRAP!), which she uses to make cards, packaging, favors, and party decorations. Karen was raised in Anchorage, Alaska but has loved living in Oregon since 1981. When not crafting, Karen enjoys reading, organizing, wine tasting, and traveling with her husband.
Originating from the southeast area of Michigan, Jessica has worked for various nonprofits building a sense of community and empowerment to work towards social impact. In her free time, she enjoys all things outside and in the natural world, discovering (and experimenting with) new recipes, working in gardens, and being with her partner and animals. Being involved at SCRAP allows her to combine her passion for sustainability and creativity to advocate for the importance of repurposing materials and minimizing waste.
Regan brings finance and revenue experience to the board, along with a love of sorting craft supplies and LEGOs in their right spots. She learned how to knit through a SCRAP pandemic craft pack, and attributes any mild success in fiber to the passionate staff of the Portland branch. Her specialties include goofy sweaters and wonky blankets, all in various degrees of ugliness, and has never won a game of yarn chicken. An Ohio native, Regan moved to Oregon for the weather, and spends time reading and playing board games to the sounds of heavy rain.
Rajah is a lifelong crafter and 804 native who loves transforming ideas into hands-on experiences. With a background in translational teaching, she believes that crafting can bridge creativity, learning, and community and enjoys helping others see the connection between making and meaning. Drawing on experiences at VCU, Rajah also helps build relationships between academic institutions and the broader crafting community. From fiber arts and collage to creative reuse projects, she finds joy in the process of discovery and sharing and is passionate about fostering sustainability, accessibility, and the spark of inspiration that crafting can bring to everyone.
Erin's first love is rescuing animals followed closely by crafting. Her day job involves all things marketing, fundraising, and development (and community outreach and a whole host of other things) for an animal shelter in the Baltimore area. When she's not advocating for homeless animals, you can find Erin cross stitching, breaking plates and collecting beads from SCRAP Bmore for a mosaic project, or refinishing discarded furniture. Erin and her husband both enjoy traveling, flea markets, and spending time outdoors.
A native of Metro Detroit, Caitlin has had a career in educational support for 10+ years focused on creating belonging and community. She is a business owner, food entrepreneur, gardening enthusiast, cat mom, and food rescue champion. Volunteering with SCRAP since moving to Ann Arbor allowed her to combine her love of the arts and environmentalism. Caitlin is particularly partial to the container section, fabric wall and scrapbooking.
Collaboration is what gets Sarah out of bed in the morning, the thrill of seeing what a group of folks can create through shared vision keeps her energy high. Sarah is many things, an activist, a party planner, prop and wardrobe stylist, crafter and problem solver, being just a few. In 2020 she started Making Earth Cool, a volunteer collective of artists that use creativity, play and science to inspire folks to be better stewards of the Earth. Thanks to SCRAP, all Making Earth Cool props and puppets are made up of 100% recycled art materials!
By day, she leads Business Resource Group and volunteer programs for Stellantis, helping employees across North America build connection, inclusion, and purpose through service. Outside of work, she’s the heart behind Muleshyne, a creative studio inspired by family legacy, storytelling, and sustainability, where she designs handcrafted, upcycled, and laser-cut pieces that celebrate culture and belonging.
Tieast also serves as Vice President of the NICU Parent Network, blending her advocacy and lived experience as a preemie mom to support families
nationwide. She brings to SCRAP a love of creative reuse, collaboration, and helping people see the beauty in what already exists.
