Tell us about your brand and why it's the best.
My brand is about affordable, wearable, original jewelry. My earrings are lightweight and comfortable. Necklaces are simple, classic designs.
What is your background and the story behind why you started?
I grew up in Middleburg, VA - a beautiful hunt country town about an hour west of Washington, DC. I graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in Painting, and moved back to the DC area in the early 80's. I've had a long career in the arts that's included gallery shows of my landscape paintings, photography direction for publications, and also as a photo editor at the White House for President Clinton. I began designing jewelry in 2019, and its been nothing but fun. My clients are my inspiration. My husband and I moved to Pittsburgh a couple of years ago. He's from here and I've always loved the vibe. Pretty sure we're hooked and we're staying.
What one product do we need to know about and why?
Super light weight earrings.
In three words, why do you love Pittsburgh?
Human, spontaneous, unfiltered.
