Jamie Tagba is a teacher, maker, and lifelong creative who believes that creativity should feel welcoming, calming, and accessible to everyone.
As a Family and Consumer Science teacher, Jamie has spent years helping students learn practical skills like sewing, cooking, and crafting while encouraging creativity and confidence along the way. Outside of the classroom, she enjoys embroidery, sewing, gardening, and other quiet creative practices that bring a sense of calm and reflection to everyday life.
Jamie created The Creative Exhale as a gentle space for women who feel overwhelmed by the pace of modern life and are looking for a moment to slow down. Her workshops focus on simple creative practices that help people reconnect with themselves, using materials they already have and embracing the beauty of imperfect, handmade work.
At the heart of her work is a belief that creativity and community should be rooted in compassion. Jamie believes deeply in the dignity and humanity of all people, and she is intentional about creating spaces where kindness, respect, and thoughtful conversation are the foundation.
Because of this, the communities she creates are not places for cruelty, bigotry, or ideologies that diminish the humanity of others. Instead, they are spaces where people can gather around creativity with empathy, openness, and care for one another.
Her philosophy is simple: creativity doesn’t need to be perfect or productive to be meaningful.
Sometimes it begins with something as small as a needle, a thread, and a quiet moment to breathe.
