Lovlee Tang | Entrepreneur, Creative Leader & Speaker

Lovlee Tang is an entrepreneur, creative educator, speaker, wife, and mother of four who believes that creativity is not just something we do—it’s a powerful way to discover who we are, solve problems, lead, and create the life we envision.

She is the founder of Lovlee Art Studios, a community art studio in Bloomfield, New Jersey, where she has built a business centered on creativity, connection, confidence, and creating meaningful experiences for people of all ages and abilities.

With a background in Communications and Theatre, education, campus leadership, and entrepreneurship, Lovlee brings a unique perspective to conversations about creativity, leadership, vision, entrepreneurship, parenting, personal growth, and purpose. Her own entrepreneurial journey began after more than a decade in the traditional workforce and eventually led her from running a faith-based home preschool to building a thriving creative business and community studio.

Lovlee is especially passionate about helping people recognize what is already within them and giving themselves permission to pursue the ideas, gifts, and possibilities they may have been sitting on. Much of her work centers around the question: “What’s in your hands?”—encouraging people to start with what they have, where they are, rather than waiting for the perfect opportunity or someone else’s permission.

As a speaker and storyteller, Lovlee brings an honest, conversational approach to the table. She loves exploring the stories behind people’s success, the lessons found in motherhood and entrepreneurship, the realities of building something from the ground up, and what it means to continue growing while bringing others along with you.

Whether she’s talking about building a brand, finding your voice, leading with purpose, raising children, navigating entrepreneurship, or turning creativity into possibility, Lovlee’s message is rooted in one simple belief:

There is more in you—and more in your hands—than you may realize.

Lovlee Tan | Author

Lovlee is also a self-published author, using writing as another creative outlet to encourage others to pursue purpose, develop their vision, and embrace the possibilities within them. Her published works include:

Her work as an author reflects the same philosophy she brings to her art studio and speaking engagements: our ideas are worth exploring, our stories are worth sharing, and creativity can become a pathway to possibility.

KELLY’S BIO:

Director Kelly Park is from Philly. Her early years were spent attending Quaker schools, which helped shape a unique life perspective. After launching her career as a marketer and project manager in the technology and advertising industries, she decided to switch things up. Inspired by her actress mother to listen to her "funny bone", she took a leap of faith, and moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in comedy. She began studying at Second City and The Groundlings, which led to commercials, short films, and sketch comedies. However, she soon realized being in front of the camera wasn't what fed her soul, teaching was. This eventually would lead to teaching children and young adults the fundamentals of acting and improv. Kelly quickly became one of the most sought-after acting coaches in television, working on numerous pilots and television shows for Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, Amazon, and Netflix. From there, Kelly transitioned to Director, debuting on the Emmy Award-nominated Netflix show, ALEXA & KATIE, ultimately directing multiple episodes. She has since directed numerous episodes such as GRACE & FRANKIE, THE NEIGHBORHOOD, STATION 19, and the upcoming FRASIER revival, as well as becoming a pilot Director for COUNTRY COMFORT (Netflix), BLACK DON'T CRACK (ABC), LOPEZ VS. LOPEZ (NBC), and most recently, NON-EVIL TWIN (NBC). She is also a writer/producer and is currently developing several projects with her producing partner husband, John, having recently sold a multi-cam comedy to Universal Television, as well as to CBS Studios.

Dialectics (0:00), performance culture, “mommy maxing,” and the pressure to look like we have it all together. Dr. Noëlle explains why embracing the messy, imperfect moments can actually bring us closer (4:08), the importance of unfiltered, “FaceTime-style” content (8:08), why “narcissist” can be misused, healthy narcissism, and the danger of making someone the victim—or the villain (12:53), and stick around for a parenting story involving projectile vomiting, a car, and a very unfortunate pair of Crocs.

Kayla’s Bio: 

Kayla Bankston entertainment professional, and mom of six, with a background in broadcast media, sports production,live event entertainment.

Her interest in storytelling and media began early, growing up in a creative household where music, nature, and artistic expression were part of everyday life. That curiosity eventually led her to pursue broadcast journalism and production, building a career that has included work with major entertainment organizations.

Kayla began her professional journey with an internship with the San Francisco Giants and later worked with the Golden State Warriors, where she expanded from technical production roles in recording and audio into Game Operations and live production. In that role, she helped create the entertainment and fan experience surrounding the game—from production elements to the energy inside the arena.

Her career has also taken her into the broader entertainment, technology industries and streaming media services, from Intel to Verizon to Warner Brothers.

Alongside her professional life, Kayla has navigated the equally demanding role of raising six children. Her story is one of creativity, adaptability, family, career transitions, and finding ways to continue pursuing meaningful work while managing the realities of motherhood.

Today, Kayla brings together her experiences as a mother and entertainment professional, offering a perspective shaped by years of working behind the scenes while building a full and busy family life.

Mary Catherine’s Story:

Where to begin? First, I grew up in Atlanta, GA. Then I went to college at a small liberal arts school in Kentucky. Four years later, I was a recent college grad living in NYC and working in marketing.

In 2009, my then-boyfriend, now-husband, Ben, and I moved to Washington, DC for his job and I got another corporate desk job (not a great fit for my creative, entrepreneurial soul). So I became a yoga teacher and quit my corporate job to focus on yoga, art, and blogging (which is when I started my blog, Starr Struck). I became a yoga studio director. I opened an Etsy shop and started making greeting cards. I taught all of the yoga and wrote all of the blog posts and did lots of custom art on the side.

In 2012, Ben and I got married and decided to move to Cape Cod (Ben’s hometown) to settle down and eventually start a family…which we did in 2016.

Since then, I’ve started (and run) a graphic design + consulting business, taught yoga at many studios and in many different places, started and ended two podcasts, continued to create products and run my shop, had two kids, and eventually created @momlife_comics, an Instagram account where I share the challenges (+ joys!) of motherhood, marriage, and being a woman in this world.

These days I’m teaching a lot less yoga and creating a lot more comics (my first book, a comic memoir entitled Mama Needs a Minute!, came out in March, 2025!), but I’m still a graphic designer + mom by day and teach two yoga classes per week. I’ve decided that finding balance is impossible but I am always doing my best to find joy amidst the insanity that is daily life with two young children.
