In 2012 I brought out my inner creativity through jewelry. I always doodled and admired fashion, but it wasn\'t until I picked up some tools, wire, and beads that I discovered my love for creating and designing jewelry. It started as a hobby, my escape from stress, then friends and family loved it so much they wanted more. I am full time teacher, but when I come home from work I don\'t mind putting in another 8 hours to create more earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings, and more. My favorite part of designing something of my own is hearing others tell me it is their favorite piece. When I wear jewelry it usually means something personal to me. I put in the same effort in designing jewelry for others, I don\'t want them to just like it, i want them to love it! My jewelry pieces are simple, sophisticated, and colorful.
