“It's our job to help people find that creative place within themselves. We all have it, and it can lead to some amazing discoveries, you just can't be afraid to create something – anything – that in the end, is going to be as individual as you are.” - Michele Beschen

Michele Beschen is a high spirited how-to hipster who took a passion for all things creative…wrangled her unmanicured hands around a stall of power tools and constructed herself a studio to create a series of creative ventures that are fresh, playful and unpredictable. Michele Beschen has made it her life’s work to inspire others to “b. creative”. Michele has the amazing ability to create something incredible out of nothing. She looks at junk and sees beauty and possibility. She is not afraid to TRY anything, and she glamorizes everything she touches. She makes mistakes, and laughs and learns. She’s human and not afraid to be. She’s a mother, a wife, with dirt under her fingernails and a fresh coat of lipstick beneath her safety glasses. She’s proven you CAN bake your bunt cake, and eat it too. She says, stand up ladies, it’s okay to want power tools instead of diamonds for your anniversary! Michele inspires men and women, young and old to try things they have never done before. She builds, she sews, she designs, she bakes, and she does it in her own unique way. She has the courage to create and she invites you to create right along with her.
B Original is a show that celebrates creativity and originality by putting new imaginative twists to doing it yourself. Creator Michele Beschen shares her taste for the eclectic and passion for the unconventional to show you how to “B.” innovative and inventive with anything and everything! She’ll show you the “power” in owning tools and take you on a creative adventure that will inspire you to look at things differently and forge your own creative path. B. Original delivers one size fits all creative
