We create with intention. We celebrate with purpose.

Design & Up! is a creative ecosystem built to inspire connection, expression, and meaningful experiences.

Where it all started

Design & Up! began with a simple idea — to create something meaningful with what we already had.

What started as upcycled art through TiJo Emporium grew into something bigger: a space where creativity, celebration, and connection could live together.

Over time, that vision expanded into Design & Up!, where we began designing events that felt intentional, welcoming, and unforgettable — not just visually, but emotionally.

Our creative home is The Re-Creation Studio, where workshops, community events, and hands-on experiences come to life.

Today, CruzShader Creations LLC. brings it all together: handmade art, immersive workshops, and thoughtfully designed celebrations.

What we believe

We believe creativity isn’t extra — it’s essential.

We believe celebration should feel natural, not stressful.

We believe connection is built through shared experiences — not just aesthetics.

And we believe that what already exists still holds value — which is why upcycling remains at the heart of everything we create.

It’s not just what we create — it’s how it feels.

Whether you’re attending a workshop, hosting an event, or bringing home a piece of art, our goal is the same:

To help you feel more connected — to yourself, to others, and to the moment you’re in.
