About Me
I’ve always loved jewelry, beads and beautiful colors. As a child growing up, my father traveled for his job and we were fortunate as a family to be able to travel as well. I remember getting some of my favorite pieces from these trips: An Ivory necklace from Barbados, a Faberge egg pendant from Russia, a beaded Indian necklace from a small country store in Virginia.
In college I began my career path in Speech/Language Pathology which gave me the opportunity to work with the most amazing children. I was fortunate enough for 10 years to do something meaningful and that I loved. I worked with children with autism, developmental disabilities and severe speech disorders to help design communication systems for them to navigate their daily lives.
Then came my own children and I took a hiatus from work to stay at home. Once entrenched in the “mom thing” I began to look for outlets for my creativity and a way to keep my brain active. I came back to one of my favorite things as a child and here I am.
This next chapter of my life has shaped this site and these pieces. Enjoy.
