Meet the Owners

Jeff & Isabel Dobier

Jeff and Isabel are a father and daughter team starting their first business together.

Jeff spent 27 years as a finance professional, but always wanted to be an entrepreneur since he was a kid, and later to be involved in a family business with his daughters. After much research, Jeff and Isabel found the Kidcreate Studio franchise, which was a perfect match for both of their interests. He has two adult daughters and two grandchildren and loves seeing how they show their love and creativity for art and science, and wants to bring that to kids and adults everywhere.

Isabel managed a clothing store and a salon for a few years after she graduated high school in Saint Paul, but she has always been interested in pursuing a career in art. She has a passion for creativity and loves to spend time with kids, including her niece and nephew. Isabel is ecstatic to have the opportunity to share her love of art with the community that she grew up in.

How our story
began

Once upon a time,
There was a kindergartner who was frustrated by spelling, but loved art!
So it began...

Founder, Lara Olson, started Kidcreate Studio after being discouraged by the limited art exposure her son was receiving at school. In art class, he found tremendous joy in the creative process and none of the frustrations he was experiencing in some of his other classes.

Lara understood this. She too gravitated toward art as a child. Lara believed in the power of art to teach, inspire and build self-esteem. She also understood that art makes learning fun and a fun learning environment was exactly what her son needed. Lara started a quest for art classes for her son. She searched in vain for an art studio designed just for kids that combined quality art education with a fun kid-friendly environment. Finding nothing that met her requirements, she decided to create it!
