When did you start your shop? July 14, 2010
Is this your only job? Yes, morning, noon and night. Like being a mom except in some ways harder. As a mother you work to take care of your child and see them happy. As a jewelry designer, maker and shop owner you work not only to support your child and self but to see that every person that comes into your shop walks away and happy.

Where do you find your inspiration? Every and anywhere. A building gives me the structure and a painting gives me the colors. Most times I am just in the store looking at a wall of beads and something sparks in my mind. I look like a mad person going from one isle to the next grabbing other items and laying them out. Mind slowly building the idea and design as I see the pieces come together.
Who has been the most supportive of your work? Friends and family. My son who says he wants to make jewelry with me when he grows up. Two dear friends especially. James who I have known for 4 years and Danielle who I have known for 1. When everyone else is saying to give up and get a 9 to 5 job, I hear them and I know I am on the right path.
