Meet the owner Ever since I was little, I’ve been a maker, a dreamer, and a planner. I can still remember sketching out ideas for inventions, designing games, and finding joy in bringing my imagination to life. Creativity has always felt like the closest thing to real magic. It’s more than a passion; it’s how I see the world. There’s something about the quiet moments before an event kicks off—the anticipation, the nervous energy, the wondering if everything will come together. The best moments aren’t always planned; they come together with a little chaos and a lot of heart. That’s what I love most about creating, whether it’s an event, an adventure, or something tangible. WitCo. was built on that belief. I wanted to create something fun, bold, and full of life—a brand that invites people to embrace creativity, spark joy, and see the magic in everyday moments. Whether you're discovering something new, revisiting a favorite, or simply soaking in the experience, I hope Wit Co. brings you fulfillment, excitement, and maybe even a little bit of childlike wonder. Hi, I’m Kaitee Witke, the creative heart behind WitCo.! I also believe art is everywhere, shaping the world in ways most people don’t even realize. It’s in the colors of a storefront, the layout of a menu, the design of your favorite cozy space. It’s in the way we celebrate, the way we connect, and the way we tell stories. Art gives me a sense of freedom—an open door to endless possibilities. As P.T. Barnum said, “The noblest art is that of making others happy.”
Welcome to WitCo. I’m so glad you’re here! A Glimpse into My World My journey to establishing this vibrant space has been anything but conventional. It all began during my first college semester amidst the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic: I had moved out, was paying for school out of pocket, and then lost my job. Facing unexpected hurdles, I was inspired by my high school counselor's stories of teaching abroad. This motivation led me to take the biggest risk to leap and embark on a teaching adventure in Ukraine in 2021. This experience ignited a passion for cultural exchange and creativity, laying the foundation for what would become WitCo. While in Ukraine, a co-teacher once asked why I seemed to connect so effortlessly with the children. I explained that I embraced creativity in the classroom, often dressing up and engaging in imaginative play to enhance their conversational skills. This approach reminded me of the uninhibited creativity of childhood—something adults often lose sight of. It reinforced my belief in the power of art to bridge gaps and foster genuine connections. Dig Deeper Beyond my professional endeavors, I cherish a multitude of personal interests that shape who I am. I'm an avid traveler, having explored countries like Georgia, Spain, Greece, Mexico, Italy, Switzerland, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. I also have 13 / 50 states left to see! These journeys have enriched my understanding of diverse cultures and continue to inspire my work.
IVAN LUCIFER At home, I'm accompanied by my two feline companions: Ivan, a lazy but cuddly boy, and Lucifer, a vocal, energetic, and curious cat. Their endearing antics often bring a smile to my face, even as I occasionally retreat to my guest room-turned-studio to protect my art projects from their enthusiastic "assistance." My go to shows while creating are "The Office," "Gilmore Girls," and “Taskmaster.” I always welcome conversations about art, travel, my cats, or these beloved shows. From Passion to Purpose Crafting and event planning have always been my creative outlets. Whether designing intricate escape rooms, developing custom board games, or orchestrating an "Amazing Race"-themed birthday scavenger hunt, my mind buzzes with ideas, especially during sleepless nights. While my parents are both artistic in their own ways, no one in my family has pursued an art-focused career. Despite this, I've been fortunate to receive unwavering support in following my passions. My parents instilled in me the courage to chase what I love, steering clear of routine and complacency. This encouragement led me to take the leap and establish WitCo., a space dedicated to fostering creativity and community. Reflecting on my own education, I often felt that traditional schooling suppressed free thinking and creative expression due to limited resources and rigid curricula. Recognizing a lack of artistic activities in our community, I founded WitCo. to fill this void. Through WitCo., I aim to provide a haven where both seasoned artists and novices can unleash their creativity, find joy, and experience the therapeutic benefits of artistic expression. Having witnessed the profound impact of art therapy during my time working at a behavioral health facility, I'm committed to making art accessible and impactful for all. At WitCo., we believe that creativity is a powerful force that can transform lives and communities. By nurturing the creative spirit within each individual, we strive to inspire a renewed sense of wonder and imagination. Join us on this journey, and together, let's make the world a more vibrant and joyful place.
