I love to create things that bring me joy. I figured maybe the things I create would bring others joy, as well, so I decided to open an Etsy shop.

I've always been a crafter, having spent a great deal of my childhood making various crafty things with my Mom. Those memories have always been my most-treasured memories, and I feel my Mom's presence every time I go into my studio to work on a new project.

Now that I've finished my second Masters program, I am able to devote a lot more time to creating unique and beautiful jewelry art. I also love to read, do some freelance writing, paint on canvas, paint ceramics, dabble in photography, and do whatever I can to help my favorite causes: animal rights, human rights, and environmental issues.

Being an animal rights advocate/ethical vegan, I try to ensure that every product or ingredient used in the making of the items in this shop are free from animal derivatives and animal testing. This includes jewelry waxes, adhesives, and the cords used in some of my necklace creations. I will never use real leather, suede, feathers, silk, or anything else that contributes to the needless use and suffering of others. If you have any questions about any of the ingredients, tools, or products used in my creations, please contact me.
