Get To Know: Matt Olin

Matt Olin is the co-founder of Charlotte Is Creative.

He is married to Sarah Olin and they have one daughter Mirabelle Olin, who is 7. draws people in and inspires them to invest their financial, social and creative capital. No two work days are the same for me — a reality that I love. One day I’m hosting CreativeMornings/Charlotte or emceeing another community event. The next day I’m working with co-founder Tim Miner, and our growing team of collaborators, to create compelling content for The Biscuit — the media channel for Charlotte Is Creative. The next day we’re brainstorming with leaders in government, religion, education or the people driving our city’s work around economic mobility. The challenges are learning when to say no (or not yet), when to stop and recharge, and (yes) when to work out.

What’s the hardest part of juggling family and work life?

A Cool Girl's Bedroom

WHEN DESIGNER JACY PAINTER KELLY, owner of Jacy Painter Kelly Interiors, took her family to New York City last summer, her 10-year-old daughter Lucy went crazy for the cool urban vibe of their downtown hotel room. It gave Lucy the itch to makeover her own bedroom in their Fort Mill home. She wanted more mature accents like silver wall sconces and velvet pillows, paired with punk rock elements like a graffiti-inspired bed frame and pink neon sign. Luckily her designer mom knew exactly how to tie it all together.
