Lori Gaon
Founder of The Crafty Lounge.
When Lori was young, her favorite time of day was when she was allowed to draw, paint, and make things. As she got older, this love never faded, and knitting and crocheting became her form of meditation, her personal escape. She loves nothing more than starting a new project to keep her hands busy and her mind distracted. The sound of knitting needles becomes her mantra as her sweater starts to take shape. Completing a real alpaca sweater and saying, “I made that!” fills her with pride over her accomplishment.
Lori attended business school, and you could say she went from Kraft to craft! After working in marketing at Kraft Foods, she now enjoys crafting. It’s been a long career journey, and she’s thrilled to be here now, sharing her love and joy in creating things from scratch.
