Frieda

Atelierista & Creative Director
Growing up surrounded by educators and trained as an interior architect, I discovered my love for working with children when I least expected it. As Atelierista, I get to blend every passion I have ever had into one role — giving children the freedom to express themselves through art, design, and exploration.

I grew up in Germany with two sisters and my parents both being educators. I was always interested in art and design and finished my Bachelor and Masters in Interior Architecture.

In 2015, I moved to San Diego and worked at an art gallery where I managed the exhibitions, art projects, and designed and painted custom murals. I started to work as a substitute teacher at a German Preschool and discovered my love of working with children during this time. I earned my credits in Early Childhood Education to become an educator. The role of the Atelierista combines my passion and all of my professional expertise.

I love giving the children the opportunity to express themselves through so many more languages than the verbal one in the Atelier.
