Who is mauidivegirl designs?
I met my husband Todd on Maui my very first time scuba diving while on vacation from cold Chicago. He was a scuba diving instructor on the island. It took a lot of convincing (I know this sounds hard to believe) to get me to move from my hometown and favorite city, but after an underwater marriage proposal in Fiji, my love for him and enjoyment of underwater sea life, I packed up my life and moved to an island.

I've had a passion for art and design for as long as I can remember. A Chicago native with a graphic design background having navigated the corporate jungle for many years, decided in 2004 to take a leap and leave the 9 to 5 grind and the cold weather behind, move to Maui and focus on creating island inspired handmade jewelry.

Maui, an island in the middle of the ocean; my favorite recreation, scuba diving; and a passion for design, mauidivegirl designs was born.

My inspiration comes from the surrounding nature of the Hawaiian islands both above and below the sea with it’s life, texture, color and patterns. My designs combine natural shell, lava, coral, pearls, gemstones, sparkling crystals and story telling into island inspired, budget-friendly wearables, gifts, favors and keepsakes.

I live on Maui, Hawaii with my husband Todd and our cat Schmoo. I continue to be stimulated everyday by the colors and beauty of my environment. When I'm not designing, I can be found combing secret beaches for shells, cooking and enjoying countless hours of underwater exploration.
