Where Passion Meets Purpose.
Hi, I am Alica, the Founder of Catalyst Creative Studio.
Catalyst Creative Studio was born out of a dream to create my own photography studio while giving other small businesses a chance to prosper and grow. The small business community is a powerful, supportive network, and I wanted to build a space that nurtures this beautiful connection. Catalyst Creative Studio offers opportunities for those who may not otherwise have access to their own space to thrive, collaborate, and share their talents with the community.
My background is a blend of creative and community-driven work, I’ve seen firsthand how vital support and collaboration are to success, and I aim to bring that same spirit to this studio. While I’m thrilled to have a space to create my own art, I’m just as excited to help others along their journey.
What makes Catalyst Creative Studio unique is its focus on creatives. Unlike other coworking spaces that cater primarily to office professionals, this space is tailored to photographers, artists, and other small business owners that think outside the box.
Why Goffstown, New Hampshire? The Goffstown community holds a special place in my heart. Its values of support and connection align perfectly with my own. It’s where I’ve built my business, my life, and my passion for giving back—whether it’s hosting fundraisers for local schools or serving on the board of a local preschool. Catalyst Creative Studio is just another way of contributing to this amazing community, helping it grow, while providing a welcoming space for creativity and collaboration.
Meet the Heart Behind It All
As a two-time business owner, I’ve built my life around pursuing my passions and creating opportunities that empower others. When I’m not at Catalyst Creative Studio or photographing my amazing clients at Sweet Ginger Photography, you’ll find me spending time with my two biggest inspirations—my kids, Sophia and Holden. We love exploring local events, discovering new spots, and soaking up all the beauty life has to offer. They’re the heart of everything I do, and every decision I make is driven by the desire to give them a life filled with love, joy, and adventure.
Adventure is a huge part of my life—I’m always seeking new experiences and places to explore, whether it’s traveling near or far. When I’m home, I’m often diving into a DIY home project, painting, or creating something new. And if there’s a quiet moment, you can find me watching period dramas like Downton Abbey or Bridgerton—I’ve always been drawn to the elegance of different eras, and The Great Gatsby is one of my all-time favorites.
I’m fueled by caramel iced coffee and never turn down a scoop of ice cream—it’s my ultimate comfort food. I live and work in Goffstown, where I’ve built both my businesses. The community here is family-friendly, welcoming, and full of charm. It truly feels like home in every way.
A motto I live by is simple: Live with purpose, create with passion, and always make space for joy. This belief shapes how I approach both life and my work, and it’s the foundation of Catalyst Creative Studio. It’s a space designed not only for creating but for supporting and connecting with others.
