Kate Anderson Singer of Tiny Doors Atlanta

What started as a kid making tiny furniture out of modeling clay turned into one of the most beloved public art projects in Atlanta.In this episode of Tiny Worlds, Big Stories, I sit down with Karen Anderson Singer, creator of Tiny Doors ATL, to talk about her journey from a self-described “art kid” to building miniature doors that have become part of an entire city’s identity.We get into:-Her childhood obsession with creating (and making everything by hand)-Why she sees miniatures as a way to interrupt everyday life-The surprising origin of her first tiny door-How the community began interacting with and protecting the work-The reality of public miniature art (spoiler: it’s not easy)-Why imagination matters more than what’s actually behind the doorKaren also shares what it really takes to install public art—from permits and insurance to navigating city bureaucracy—and why she doesn’t recommend it lightly.This is a conversation about scale, storytelling, and the quiet power of making people pause.https://www.tinydoorsatl.com/https://www.instagram.com/tinydoorsatl/Shop & retail:https://www.tinydoorsatl.com/shop-retailThe books:https://www.tinydoorsatl.com/book*****Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/bB4R14v3skYLara's IG:https://www.instagram.com/lara_miniaturistSmall By Design Newsletter Sign-up:https://larablairartstudio.myflodesk.com/smallnews
