Mutasia was founded in 2007 by entrepreneur Tami Cotsakos, a former K-12 elementary school music teacher in New Jersey and California. Tami was inspired to develop a children’s project to provide kids with a creative approach to make learning entertaining and supplement traditional education. She wanted to create an environment for children that encourages creativity and teaches about life’s many lessons in a fun and humorous way. Prior to this, Tami built a career in design, retail, childcare management, education and philanthropy.
