diy workshops + messy magic.

Maike is a hands-on creative studio and gathering space for people ready to reconnect — with their creativity, their courage, their community, and themselves.

Through workshops, events, and DIY sessions, we blend practical skills with deeper purpose, helping you make things that matter while staying rooted in your own transformation. Whether you’re building something with your hands or rebuilding something within yourself, Maike is a space to explore, experiment, and heal. Our name means “of the sea,” honoring creativity as a wild, flowing force that lives in all of us.

CARA newhart

[ Interior Designer, DIY Queen & Creative Alchemist ]

Cara believes transformation starts with your own two hands. Over the past seven years, she’s taught millions of women how to wield power tools with confidence and reimagine their spaces from the inside out.

As the Founder of MAIKE, she's designed creative workshops that are less about perfection and more about permission—to try, to make a mess, to rebuild beauty from the broken bits.

With a background in Home Renovation, storytelling, and energetic transformation, Cara blends the practical and the magical to create spaces (and experiences) that help you reconnect to your power through hands-on making.
