This Jewelry Designer Is a Straight-Up Creative Genius

How different is your approach when it comes to designing body jewelry as opposed to the other pieces you create?

When it comes to the body, I’m very aware of the crystals I use and their purpose and chakras they are enhancing. For example, lapis stone is more for your throat chakra and opening of your third eye, so I try not to use too much of that around the waist. I’m so extremely particular, once again, on the movement of my body pieces. I want my people to be able to dance and sit and eat, so I’m very cautious of the versatility, functionality, and strength (quality).Â

You design clothing as well. Do you see yourself creating any more clothing in the future, or are you more focused on jewelry?Â

Clothing was my first love. I have so many ideas to incorporate those two worlds. It’s truly a dream to be a designer in many realms. I’ve designed a dress before, and that went well, but I truly wanted to use my hands and get the hard work done first so that when I have a production, I can genuinely say I’ve been there before. I want the full 360 views when it comes to design, and that's what separates a boss from a leader.
