Where does the spark to create come from? For my ethical handmade jewelry studio, it comes from a passion to use my right brain in a very left brain head. Jewelry designing started 15+ years ago. I am a self-taught artist, and all of my heart goes into the designs I create as I strive to constantly expand my knowledge. It all began with simple bead stringing turning into advanced wire wrapping that I sold on Etsy starting in 2007.  In 2013 I taught myself metalsmithing, grabbed a torch and have not looked back since. I love creating without mass production, without technology, with just imagination, care and a lot of love.

My Southern California mountain studio is where all creation & admin work begins for my ethical handmade jewelry collection. I am jewelry designer, customer service rep, graphic artist, photographer, website designer, and postal lady all in one. I love that this is my day job and have enjoyed being a full-time entrepreneur since Summer 2009.  I’m an ethical vegetarian (14+ years and counting), I love cows dearly (would love one of my own), and have a very sarcastic sense of humor!
