Meet the founders

Dani &
James Dean

The Ware was founded by Dani and James Dean, a creative couple from Sydney’s Northern Beaches.

Dani Dean is a creative in the truest sense of the word. Imaginative, resourceful and bold. As the founder of The Make Haus, a primary resident of the Ware, the Dean’s wanted to create a space that could house The Make Haus, and host a collective of businesses with a similar requirement for extra perks and lots of room.

At any one time, The Make Haus can need a lot of space to prep for a job, build objects, host events and workshops or shoot. The Ware is glittered with unusual props, plinths, shapes and items perfect for content shoots. It’s a versatile space that can be manipulated into many things, and that's the beauty of it.

We wanted to design a space to foster creativity

Led by Dani Dean, The Make Haus is a one-of-a-kind multidisciplinary creative studio. A collective of dreamers, designers and directors who create concepts that engage and inspire by reimagining objects, spaces and moments.
