A UNIQUE JOURNEY
My journey into jewelry design began with a trip to Thailand, where I was deeply inspired by the beauty and craftsmanship of the Karen Hill Tribe people. When I returned home, I blended that inspiration with my own personal style and began creating jewlery of own. I truly knew that I had found my calling! With a little courage, I sold my first piece of jewlery in 2005. Three years later, I was accepted as a jewelry artist for the Sundance Catalog which helped launch my business into something much bigger. My husband Casey soon joined the party, allowing us to raise our three young kids together while growing something we loved. Today, our jewelry studio is based in Park City, UT where we design and handcraft every piece along a small, incredible team of empoyees. After 20 years, our passion for creating meaningful, ethically made jewelry is stronger than ever!
ROOTED IN NATURE
Blessed to live in the mountains and surrounded by the quiet strength of nature is where I find both inspiration and balance. The textures of tree bark, the fluid shapes of river stones, the changing light across ridgelines all influence the organic forms and finishes of my jewelry designs. Nature isn't just a muse, it's also my source of calm and clarity amidst the stresses of running a business. Whether biking, skiing, or simply exploring the outdoors, each piece is not only designed with natural beauty in mind, but is also tested for strength and durability through those adventures. My goal is to create jewelry that reflects the beauty of the natural world and is as strong, grounded, and enduring as the landscapes that inspire it.
A FAMILY AFFAIR
When Casey and I made the decision to build this business together, it as with the dream of building something meaningul while also being fully present to raise our three young kids. From day one, it's been a family effort - our kids having grown up alongside the business. In the early days, they would proudly welcome customers into the shop, their energy and curiosity lending to the experience. As the business evolved, they continued pitch in - helping with tasks like packaging large orders and being part of what it takes to grow and maintain a small business. Many times, our incredible employees would double as part time nannies when needed, reinforcing the sense of family and support that surrounded us. While running a business is never without stress, it gave both of us the flexibility to be at every school program, athletic event, and family adventure. It wasn't always easy, but this path has allowed us to grow something special, together.
