I was born and raised in suburban Detroit. The only time I have lived elsewhere is during my college years at Eastern Michigan University where I earned my bachelor degree in Fine Arts. Although it felt as if I had taken every art class offered in college, and dabbled in a zillion styles and art mediums over those years, it wasn't until 2013 that I found my love of and passion for designing and creating Jewelry.
It all started during the summer when my girls were away at camp. I had a few weeks to spend at our vacation house in northern Michigan. Quiet time. I started exploring with fibers and beading. I made a few necklaces for myself. People complimented the jewelry I was wearing often, and a lady who's store I frequently shopped, asked if I would make a few necklaces to display and sell at her store. I did, and they sold. Each time she reordered they sold! What started as my hobby, quickly became my passion and a thriving business, Mii Myx Jewelry Studio!
In April of 2014, I opened an ETSY store and enrolled in an ongoing metalsmith class. My knowledge in metals and soldering allows me to make and use my own metal components in my jewelry.
In addition to the items currently listed in my ETSY store, I do custom orders. Convo me if you are interested in a custom piece. I am happy to set up a custom listing for you.
