Origins

Learn more about our history and where we're headed

Artsy-Preneur grew out of a desire to empower artists in our global economy and has grown into a powerful solutions provider at the intersection of humanity and creativity — education, art, and business.

We serve people of all backgrounds and organizations big and small. Our edge is our incredible passion and experience, and our love for seeing people be empowered in all fields.

Since 2010, Artsy-Preneur's Founder, Malena Amusa, MA has partnered with forward-thinking visionaries—from multi-billion-dollar corporations to solo entrepreneurs—crafting business blueprints, developing marketing strategies and campaigns, and leading communications and product design that have empowered people around the world. A perennial entrepreneur, Amusa has launched dozens of creative projects, some blossoming into high-impact enterprises, including the world-touring Addlife! African Dance Company and Amusa Communications. Alongside this work has been a deep and steady commitment to education. Passionate about literacy, creativity, and STEAM, Amusa has taught at learning centers globally and has spent much of this decade in classrooms helping young people to read, write, and tinker with their dreams.

Amusa's ultimate joy is being a mom and wife, alongside coaching and teaching diverse people and teams, and seeing dreams come to fruition.

How We Serve

Our strong record of achievement is grounded in a simple belief: true innovation and lasting impact begin with leadership rooted in service.

We are a people-first venture, guided by faith and a deep belief in the essential goodness and potential of humanity. From this foundation, we drive meaningful results through:

Authenticity

We amplify the best of what makes every project unique and connect that to elevating the human experience. We authentically celebrate the human spirit in all we do, ensuring all solutions, products, programs and coaching experiences reach and transform lives.

Creativity

We think like architects, drawing from vision, experience, and practical business sense to engineer strategy that is artful and structurally sound. Our process begins with listening deeply, sketching bold possibilities, and refining each detail until small and large goals are reached.

Excellence

We dare to go beyond the ordinary, to obsess over the small things while chasing the big picture. To us, excellence is sharp eyes, high standards, and full attention to every voice, vision, and creative path forward.
