Combining high quality Japanese glass beads and detailed craftsmanship, I create hand-woven jewelry with a very fine needle and thread as my basic tools in my home studio north of Seattle.

I started making jewelry in 2008 and began selling at Seattle’s Fremont Market and local art shows in Washington State in 2009. Since 2012, I have been traveling to and through different states. My jewelry has been and is in several museum gift stores, and small boutiques. I sell directly to customers throughout the year at various Art Festivals in Washington, Idaho, Oregon, California, Montana, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and Arizona.

I grew up in the verdant Pacific Northwest and reside here now. With floor to ceiling windows in my open studio, I create pieces which have never been seen before. Combining my love of the PNW and all of the influences I have had the opportunity to see, I weave together thousands and thousands of beads to create bracelets (my favorite), necklaces, chokers, earrings, rings, barrettes and most recently, Apple Watchbands.

So many people who pass my booth at art shows assume my bracelets are already Apple watchbands, and most of the styles can become an Apple Watchband. In the last few years, this has been my major focus in creating custom-made Apple Watchbands.

I use Japanese glass beads in all of my pieces. Using a very strong thread and a very thin needle, each bead is sewn on, one by one. The clasps on the bracelets get special attention by ensuring the strength and durability of the product, while I sew through the beads and the clasp at least 3-5 times.
