Metal smiting side of the studio
My daughters favorite part of the new studio my very organized glass cabinet. My old mess must have been driving her nut

My very cool map I custom ordered for my studio to track etsy sales, and it came from a fellow etsy artist. LOVE IT!!

Dream job

From an early age I knew I wanted to be at home everyday with my children, (a luxury I didn't grow up with) so I put my mind to the grind used all the glass making techniques I learned traveling the Islands, plus continued more education(2 years) in metal smithing and slowly started my own company which is now a registered trademark.

Irie' is the Caribbean slang for feeling good, or being happy.

I started making jewelry in High School over 12 years ago. Graduated with a BFA in fashion design in 2005, and went on to apprentice and further my education in metal smithing in 2006. I enjoy creating from my new home studio!!!
