Life Comes Around In Full Circle
Jewelry was my first love, sparking my creative journey back in high school. I dabbled in designing and crafting pieces, but my path took an unexpected turn when I discovered a deep passion for oil painting during college. This newfound interest led me to earn a degree in Fine Art, and my curiosity didn't stop there. I pursued a second degree in Computer Programming, a decision that would later prove invaluable.
With these diverse skills in hand, I embarked on a new adventure by starting a sign business, where I took on multiple roles: graphic designer, accountant, and customer service representative. For 31 years, this home-based venture provided the perfect balance, allowing me to nurture our two boys while honing my professional craft.
Sometime ago, I began to feel the pull of my old jewelry passion. Slowly, I reintegrated it into my life and launched an Etsy store in 2009. Over the years, my jewelry business has grown from a side endeavor to my primary focus. Now, in a new chapter of life in Chattanooga, I'm thrilled to dedicate myself entirely to my craft. It’s a full-circle moment, returning to my first love with a rich tapestry of experiences behind me.
