About DIYvinci
DIYvinci is a creativity-for-wellbeing space for overwhelmed, burnt-out, neurodivergent, and chronically ill adults who are carrying too much and looking for ways to reduce stress, reconnect, and feel like themselves again.
Hey! I'm Jen.
There was a point in my life where I realized I was spending more time being functional than being alive.
Wake up tired.
Sit at a job that drained everything interesting out of me.
Smile. Perform. Produce.
Go home with a brain still running full speed while my body felt cemented to the floor.
I kept thinking, Is this really it? Is this the part where I trade my life for a paycheck and call it adulthood?
The strange thing was, whenever I talked to people about creativity, their whole face changed. They’d say, “I wish I could make things… but I’m not creative,” like it was already decided for them.
And something in me pushed back every time. Because creating was the one thing that kept me from dissolving into that dead-end routine. So I started paying attention.
Not to the “success stories” or the artists chasing perfection, but to the people who wanted to create and didn’t know how to begin or believed they weren’t allowed to.
DIYvinci grew out of that space. A need for a place built for people whose brains don’t take the straight path.
For the ones who think in images, metaphors, half-formed ideas at 3AM. For the people who feel their life shrinking under the weight of “shoulds” and want to claw back even one corner that feels like themselves.
Here, creativity isn’t a performance.
It’s a pressure valve.
A refuge.
A way to reconnect with the parts of yourself you had to mute to survive.
DIYvinci isn’t here to push you harder or turn you into anything.
It’s here to give you room to explore, rest, experiment, and rebuild a life that includes you in it.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, numb, restless, invisible, too much, not enough… you’ll understand why this place exists. And if any part of you is craving a life that feels like you actually live in it, then you’re in the right place.
Why This Space Exists
DIYvinci started because I was tired of watching people quietly opt out of creativity.
Creativity is how many of us regulate, process, play, experiment, and reconnect with ourselves. It’s not extra. It’s not indulgent. It’s part of wellbeing.
DIYvinci exists to push back against the idea that creativity is only valuable when it performs. This is a place where you don’t have to prove anything, improve anything, or turn your creativity into something impressive for it to count.
