it’s nice to meet you!

Catherine Masi is the founder of Light & Muse®, a creative consultancy studio offering tools for artful clarity, calm, and beautifully lived spaces.

Hello! I’m Catherine—a creative strategist, educator, and designer with a deep belief in the power of art and environment to heal, ground, and inspire. My work blends design, emotional wellness, and therapeutic creativity, drawing from a background in psychology, social work, art education, and the healing arts.

I hold a Bachelor’s in Social Work and Psychology, a Master’s in Creative Arts in Learning, and a Practitioner Certification in Art Therapy. I’ve built a multifaceted career in education, the arts, and creative entrepreneurship. From classrooms to styled spaces, and now through sensory-aware tools and design-forward rituals, my goal is always to help people reconnect—with themselves, their creativity, and their environments.

But I’m also someone who sometimes lives among laundry piles, gets creatively stuck, and leans on coffee more than I’d like to admit. What I share through Light & Muse isn’t about perfection—it’s about returning to what feels centering, expressive, and true.

A portion of annual profits is donated to organizations supporting underserved and under-resourced communities.
