Who Is Next Door Creations?
Next Door Creations was founded by Lauryn Alyssa Wendus in 2014 with the release of her first children’s book—and a desire to support families, educators, and small businesses through creative tools and intentional strategy. What began with publishing quickly expanded into a broader studio for both meaningful projects and thoughtful marketing support.
Today, Next Door Creations bridges digital consulting and family-focused creations, with offerings that span across literacy, homeschooling, and community connection. Education-aligned ventures include:
- Oli Kids Co. – A whimsical children’s book brand centered on kindness and imagination
- A Good Start Reading – A simple, proven reading program for parents to use at home
- Ribbon Star Press – A publishing imprint for empowering, heartfelt books
- Connected Homeschool – A platform for homeschool families to connect and share resources
- Reading Programs for Kids – A curated site for exploring early literacy tools and programs
Whether through storytelling, community, or strategy, Next Door Creations is rooted in helping families and creators thrive.
