OUR TEAM

Nora Abousteit

Nora Abousteit

Founder + CEO
Nora lives and breathes arts and crafts and is a serial entrepreneur who has started three companies helping people make things with their hands and feel good. After BurdaStyle.com and Kollabora, her latest business is CraftJam. When not pushing pixels and crunching numbers on spreadsheets, she probably knits, crochets, or sews teddy bears, tops, sweaters, and beanies.

Tess Larson

Tess Larson

Inventory Specialist
Tess keeps CraftJam’s precious supplies super organized. She packs your Kits and makes sure they arrive on time. Tess’ mother always had a craft room and during a timeout as a child her mother always told Tess to craft. She would say: do not wait for someone else to make you feel better, make something.
