About Us

Chaotic Good Creations

Chaotic Good Creations is the embodiment of the way I view the world, as expressed through art, workshops, technology, design & community.

It exists to restore tactile and present art expressions to people's lives by creating spaces, tools, and practices that invite making beyond a screen.

Bloom & Bao

Bloom & Bao is where the Chaotic Good mission becomes physical, through small, hands-on workshops and thoughtfully designed art kits that promote slow, tactile art experiences rooted in presence and mindfulness.

Fatima De Leon Koolmees, Founder

Fatima De Leon Koolmees has been making things for as long as she can remember, first as a writer, then later through drawing, photography, and mixed media.
Her creative practice is rooted in storytelling, process, and working by hand. With a background in business tech and operations, she has frequently been an early adopter of emerging technologies, and founded Chaotic Good Creations in an effort to hold space for human, hands-on creation in parallel with an increasingly automated world.

Kristle Manaoat, B&B Partner

Kristle Manaoat’s love for art, learning, and teaching was shaped early on by the immersive experience of the Meet the Masters program as young girl.
Her appreciation for aesthetic beauty of nature has inspired her to curate terrariums and other nature centered pieces. Kristle finds peace and self discovery in self expression through art and wishes to share that with others. Her partnership with Bloom & Bao is the perfect opportunity to share her knowledge, skills, and create an experience for others to enjoy.
