Hello, I am Dr. Tasia, Founder of 316 Studio Co.

My business started as something I never expected - a prayer for a hobby. While working in higher education, I found myself seeking a creative outlet and asked God to show me what that could be. He led me to jewelry making, and I spent months creating pieces for myself, family, coworkers, and friends. Eventually, I decided to try selling online, but something unexpected happened: my creativity was completely zapped. I felt stuck and uninspired, so I went back to prayer. This time, God directed me toward wall hangings - a pivot that would completely change the trajectory of my business.

As sales picked up and I started consistently receiving 30+ orders, I realized I'd hit a wall. Working with clay was incredibly labor-intensive and impossible to scale without burning myself out. I faced one of the biggest decisions in my business: investing in equipment that cost more than I'd ever spent on anything business-related. I scoured YouTube and online resources, desperately looking for guidance, but I kept hearing about print-on-demand, candles, and digital products. Nobody was talking about the unique challenges of scaling an actual handmade business. With God's guidance and a leap of faith, I made the investment, and it enabled me to scale consistently to six figures.

Through every learning curve and growing pain, I kept thinking about how isolated I felt during those crucial scaling decisions. There needed to be a space where Christian handmade makers could find both practical business strategies AND biblical encouragement - a place where you feel seen, heard, and understood. That's my heart for 316 Studio. Whether you need guidance on pricing, production timelines, equipment investments, or just someone who understands the unique challenges of building a handmade business, I want this to be your place. My digital resources are designed to help you unclutter your thoughts and emotions while relying on God's wisdom. I don't believe I'm special - I believe it was grit, faith, and strategic action. My hope is to share that wisdom with you so you can truly go from craft table to consistent income.
