I am a Charleston maker—born and raised. I started stringing beads at a local bead store after school and dreaming up jewelry designs between classes at Moultrie Middle. Today, I own two Hermosa Jewelry storefronts here in Charleston, run an online shop, and mentor a team of young women. I’m constantly inspired by the colors of downtown, the textures of the marsh, and the feeling of life on the water—it's what shapes every piece of jewelry I create. My goal is to help women feel confident, beautiful, and connected to the spirit of the Lowcountry.
