Diane Greenbaum

Kidcreate Studio - Alexandria

Diane left the corporate life when she realized her current goals no longer matched ambitions formed early in her career. It was time to blaze a new trail that would reward her business experience and balance work with family time. She enjoyed activities with her young son and saw an opportunity in the children's activities space. Instead of starting from scratch, she sought out a proven business and found Kidcreate Studio. Diane is excited to share her love of the arts with her son and the kids of Alexandria where making a mess is the best at the art studio (and better than cleaning up at home)!
