At Nda Studio, I believe tools should be beautiful.
NDA Studio creates small, thoughtfully made objects designed to be used, carried, and gifted.
Each piece is crafted with attention to materials, balance, and quiet meaning — whether it’s a handmade eyeglass chain, a set of knitting stitch markers, or an intention talisman necklace.
Our work is rooted in everyday rituals: reading, making, sipping tea, starting something new. We focus on objects that feel personal, enduring, and useful, with just enough symbolism to make them meaningful without being prescriptive.
Every item is made individually, with natural materials and a considered aesthetic, so no two pieces are exactly alike. NDA Studio is for those who value craftsmanship, subtle beauty, in the objects that accompany daily life.
Every piece is made in my small Canadian studio. I choose gemstones for their natural beauty and symbolism — rose quartz for softness, fluorite for clarity, tiger’s eye for focus, lapis for wisdom. These stones add joy and intention to the simple act of making.
Whether you’re knitting a cozy sweater, crocheting a gift, or accessorizing your everyday look, I hope my pieces bring a moment of beauty to your day.
Thank you for supporting handmade. 💛
