We are often asked – WHO came up with this incredible idea (and how did it happen)?!

 

Dan Nissan off, Make Meaning’s Founder and CEO, was always a maker. It started with model airplanes (he still builds those today) and later grew into a career as a serial entrepreneur — he made two unique ideas into wildly successful companies. He also made babies — with his wife Amy — a son and a daughter who became the inspiration to make his next BIG THING.

 

Dan and Amy’s kids were also makers – and Dan was amazed by how excited his kids would become when given the opportunity to explore their creativity by making things on their own. He also watched them get frustrated – when the projects were too hard or not as fun as they had imagined.

 

The best part was not really the things they made but the FUN they had making stuff – together. That’s when the magic happened – the best conversations, the loudest laughs and the coziest connections. And with all this good stuff going on, the iphones became a little easier to ignore.

 

And that is what made Dan’s “a-ha” moment.

 

Dan’s vision for Make Meaning was to make a world-class entertainment destination where kids and adults could come to have fun with creativity – making things together. At Make Meaning, from a table for two to a mega celebration – the Guest experiences the magic of making served up in an all-fun, no-fail way within a dynamic, inspiring environment like none other. Make Meaning’s Creative Experiences are specially designed to engage Guests of all ages, from Ceramics and Glass Design to Cake Decorating, Soap Making, Candle Making and more. The staff of Associate Creativity Enthusiasts (A.C.E.s!) entertains by serving up the tools, the tips and tricks and techniques to assure an awesome outcome and a guaranteed frustration-free FUN time. In other words – we do the hard stuff, so you can don’t have to (and that includes the clean up!)

 

 

And why should kids have all the fun? Dan wanted a place where adults could also flex their creative muscle in a grown up way. All activities are carefully designed to appeal to every age and stage – from Mommy and Me to Mom’s Night Out.

 

Make Meaning currently has five locations and many more in the making ;). Right at this very moment, our Guests are making memories out of moments, celebrating major milestones or dropping in to make their next favorite thing. All that’s missing is you.

 

So go ahead – Make Today.
