What You Do: Jewelry Designer
How Long You’ve Been in Business: 1 very exciting year
Why You Love What You Do: I have always loved creating unique jewelry for myself and now I am able to share that with other women. Everyone has certain things that make them happy and I think jewelry is one of them! I love using my creativity to explore and experiment to come up with fun pieces of jewelry that sometimes seem more like a piece of art. I see fashion as art and jewelry as wearable art. I love finding unique gemstones and fusing them with vintage accents while concentrating on color in texture… in a way the outcome is combining past with present.
Anything Else You’d Like to Tell the World: We will be having a trunk show at Touch of Sass on Thursday February 24th. Should be a fun night so come by if you can and bring friends! Currie Bucher has a fabulous store!
Why You Love WING: I attended my first WING meeting in January and was so thrilled to meet such a dynamic group of women! WING is a great organization and I am looking forward to getting more involved in 2011. Being around these women is very motivating and inspiring, and I believe will help with important business decisions and resources. I enjoy hearing about each person’s business and it is comforting to know others who face similar obstacles. What a fun environment to share experiences and learn from each other!
