Get in Touch with EmadMeet the Founder
Samantha Vann is an educator, artist, author, and creative visionary dedicated to restoring access to arts education and empowering young people through creativity, self-expression, and entrepreneurship. With both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in education, she has spent years working within the school system and witnessing firsthand the steady decline of arts programming due to financial constraints.
Motivated by this gap, she founded Creative Odyssey to create a space where creativity is not treated as an extra, but as a vital pathway to confidence, leadership, and lifelong learning. Her work blends arts education with entrepreneurial thinking, helping youth—especially those from underserved communities—discover their voices and transform their ideas into meaningful projects.
