LaRochaDesigns was created as an extension of myself. I have always valued the craftsmanship involved with handmade goods and the ability to be expressive in the things you interact with daily. I work primarily with clay and gemstones because these mediums make me feel most connected to the earth and find that it grounds me. I enjoy making practical, everyday items that can act as small reminders of how our energy is connected through the stories of everyday items.
