FOLDS

As Founder and CEO, I created FOLDS to help seniors use origami as a gentle exercise for both the mind and hands. The sessions are designed to improve dexterity, focus, and emotional well-being while encouraging meaningful connection.

I developed the workshop structure, secured partnerships with local senior centers, and personally led classes to introduce origami as a form of creative therapy. Each session balances relaxation with engagement, helping residents feel confident and fulfilled.

I’ve worked to grow FOLDS’ presence and reach new communities. The goal is to make art-driven care accessible to more seniors while showing how creativity can promote both physical and emotional health.

Through regular sessions, I’ve seen seniors grow more confident and socially engaged, forming new friendships while rediscovering joy in creative expression. These outcomes have reinforced the importance of combining art, empathy, and movement in every class.
