After a lifelong love of making things, Studio Yaga began as a project to boost my art to the world. I've always been drawn to artistic practice and I spent most of my life making DIY projects when I couldn't afford the beautiful handmade items I loved.

Studio Yaga is inspired by my love for the folklore of Baba Yaga. As a morally grey character with the capacity to help or frighten, I fell in love with the witchy story and its lessons. Studio Yaga emphasizes those strange and unique moments from stories and turns them into physical adornments that are guaranteed to catch the eyes of anyone you see on the street.
It's a shop where fun and strangeness coexist; I want you to look good in your earrings and feel cooler than you ever have before.

I am a recent graduate with a degree in Painting and Book Arts from Pratt Institute. I'm originally from Virginia, where the beautiful and vibrant landscape inspired my love for all things bright and handcrafted. While my passions began in painting alone, attending art school allowed me to exploring the discipline of jewelry making and learn techniques that I had never seen before. What started as a desire to make small and different pieces for myself to wear expanded to be a real business, thanks to the constant support and love from my friends and family.

My passions lie within making creative pieces that are affordable, chic, and fun, bringing a sense of life to a world that can sometimes feel colorless. To me, jewelry is a necessary part of everyone's life that shouldn't break the bank; it provides a simple way to make yourself feel a little brighter every day. I make pieces that bring me joy with their fun and unique qualities, and I hope that they'll do the same for everyone who tries them. Adding a little fun color to your look is the easiest way to feel joyful and radiant, even on the dimmest days.
