Jen built more than a shop: she built a space where creativity and community thrive side by side. In the heart of the Las Vegas Arts District, @akincooperative has become a creative home for local makers, artists, and small business owners.
What began as one woman’s vision to make local goods more accessible has grown into a collective that fuels collaboration and connection year-round. Through challenges, growth, and plenty of grit, Jen has proven that small business success isn’t just about profit: it’s about purpose. That’s how community gets built in Nevada.
