Growing up, I was always making or painting something. But that all changed as I started college, and had less and less time to be creative. Instead, I expressed my passion for color in other ways. My bedroom has always been an oasis of bright and bold hues. And as I got ready for each day, I picked which colors -- not clothes -- I would wear. As such, I've always gotten attention and admiration for the colors in which I draped myself and my surroundings.

As more and more people told me how much they love my accessories and outfits, I realized that I could create bracelets and other accessories for others who find comfort and confidence in color.

Local Color was born out of this need to share my passions and rediscover my own creativity. We all have a unique perspective to share, and this shop allows me to bring my love for a world of colors to life. By combining timeless and widespread materials and techniques with my own modern and playful style, I hope to create unique accessories that transport you to a particular place or feeling.

I want anyone wearing jewelry I made to feel not just pretty, but powerful. Wearing it, I hope you can confront the challenges and responsibilities life throws at you daily with confidence.
