Tiffany May, creative director, has had a passion for art and design since she could hold a pencil. At the age of three, she would carry markers and a stack of 500 pieces of paper up and down the stairs to make sure she could draw whenever she wanted. Her creativity continued to grow throughout the years and along, with being an interior designer, she now runs a small online shop, The Branch and the Vine, featuring her handmade products.

Tiffany believes that she was meant to use her creative and artistic talents to carry out God’s good works and has been blessed with the opportunity to act as creative director for Thriving Kids Care Society. With her experience of leading kids and teaching art lessons at various children's programs, she is excited to share her love of art with kids of all ages and watch them thrive as they explore their creativity and imagination. When she’s not busy designing and developing ideas for events and fundraisers, Tiffany also loves to stay active and play sports, including golf, volleyball, badminton, and ultimate.
