I was born and raised in Seattle. I started working for Fusion Beads when I was 17 years old in March of 2000. I most enjoy working with wire and fusing, but I string more often. I like to weave seed beads too, especially the Peacock Bracelet Kits. My favorite inspiration piece is the Butterfly Meadow Bracelet. I love it's use of mixed media and a great color palate. I tend to wear more neutral colors but I love to add a bit of sparkle and color into my wardrobe with my jewelry.
