Thanks for stopping by. My name is Donyell aka DonKatCha. Since 2013, I sold my handmade jewelry on two Etsy shops. I retired them both in 2022.

I am embarking on a new career in 2023 to sell my designs on printed tote bags.

BACKGROUND

After receiving my Ph.D. in psychology in 2006, I was convinced that I wanted an academic career because that was what all the cool kids did. As I traveled down that path, I began to feel a void in my life. Something had to give and it ended up being me. So I decided to take my advice and do something about it.

As I journeyed down my path of self-discovery, I uncovered a passion for jewelry-making. It is truly a blessing every time I get the opportunity to create something beautiful.
