Emily Korson
Executive Director

Emily Korson co-founded both ReCreative Denver and our sister organization, Seattle ReCreative. A Colorado native, Emily earned a BA from Reed College in Portland, Oregon, and a MFA  from The San Francisco Art Institute.  She subsequently lived in New York, Boston and Seattle before returning to Denver in 2016 with her husband and now teenage daughters.  When she's not working behind the scenes at ReCreative or caring for her family, Emily enjoys drawing, ceramics, gardening and walks around Wash Park.  What she loves most about ReCreative is the inclusive and creative community it cultivates.

When she's not working in the store, you can find her in the studio throwing on the wheel, or at home with her rabbit Betty White, dabbling in the dark arts of sewing.

Tobi Luna
Operations Associate

Tobi (xe/xem) here! I like aliens, horror films, and fruit by the foot. My dogs are always "Employee of the Month," so I'm really here by association. Current artistic fixations are watercolor, pen and ink, leather painting, and press-on nails. I'm also one of our knit/crochet instructors. If you hear sad 80's darkwave in the shop, you know I'm here to help you out.

Sammy Millan
Operations Associate

Originally from Puerto Rico, I’ve been living in Denver since 2015. I love making candles and metaphysical products, and I have a studio space at RCD where I create and connect. I’ve been involved with RCD since 2020—supporting my partner Cal with anll of his art projects/ installations, helping out on volunteer days, and running my own shop Curios Nature upstairs (now with a brick-and-mortar location right next door)! Over the years, RCD has become a safe space for me to create, grow, and build meaningful connections, and I’m grateful to be part of the team.
