Columbia Creative Factory finds new home at Kindred Collections

Mychal LaVia believes in the power of collaboration. The co-founder of Columbia Creative Factory was looking for a new location for his organization when he walked into Kindred Collections at 452 Locust St., Columbia. The business, owned by Dena Krebs and Julie Hess, opened its 10,000-square-foot location in early 2020.

“He came in and said he was looking for a space and I said, ‘Well, we definitely have space,'” Krebs recalled. “It sort of felt like it was meant to be.”
