Helen Tafesse is an outstanding creative director and visionary in Lancaster, PA. She believes people are starved for genuine connections and because of this, Helen is passionate about creating spaces and moments where people feel curiosity, joy, and connection that reminds them of deeper things that actually matter. We explore the complexities of human emotions and the REAL secret to maturing as an artist.
