About me

Welcome to my world of whimsy and color inspired by sun, surf and sand.

In my dreams, I live in a California beach bungalow, fall asleep to the sound of crashing waves, awake to purpley-pink swirling sunrises and spend my days running my own boutique/gallery, designing jewelry inspired by it all.

In real life, I live not-so-close to the beach, fall asleep to the sound of my snoring beagle, awake to the sound of my snoring beagle and spend my days as a marketing professional/MFA grad student, designing jewelry (part-time) inspired by the life in my dreams.

In a completely random order- I love art, design, beagles, LOST, California, sushi, lazy Sundays, falling leaves, crashing waves, shopping downtown, buying local, watching 90210 reruns on SoapNet, technology, hoarding art and craft supplies, beads, and good wine.

And that life in my dreams? I'm working toward making it a reality.

I'm a proud member of The Etsy Beagles, Etsy Freethinkers and EtsyBead street teams. I'm also a Self Representing Artist Jewelry Designer (SRAJD #1852).
