Tell us a bit about yourself:
I like to garden, bake, read, go to the beach and play with my dog.
Is there a specific design style that you really like?
I'm not sure I have a style that can be defined.
I get bored easily, which leads to me usually having several projects going at once. I infuse that energy into my brand by working pretty much non-stop.
Inequality, meanness and closed mindedness makes me angry. I'm not sure how to let that come through in what I do yet.

What are your goals?
My plans for the future are to be incredibly successful.
I actually have plans for a bakery as well. I hope to merge a stand alone bakery and mobile bakery into something with a steampunk edge where I can sell my jewelry and other people's work. Sounds crazy but I know I can do it.
I make fun and interesting items that I hope bring as much joy to the people who buy them as I get from creating them.

Describe your ideal customer & the world they inhabit.
My ideal customer is someone who has a unique sense of style, aren't interested in wearing the same thing a thousand other people are wearing and have a sense of fun and adventure.
What is about your shop that is unique? What makes your shop different?
I have a wacky sense of style and sense of humor, I think that shows through in what I make, especially the clockwork critters and robots.
I've been through a lot of adversity over the course of my life, as most people have. I've learned not to take things too seriously, to maintain a sense of humor, to remain positive and to never give up. I think I already bring a lot of that to my brand or I would have given up by now.
Here's a quote from someone who bought several of my pieces, I think it sums up the answer to this question pretty well;

“Your pieces are truly inspiring and beautiful. I've been looking for good jewelry with mechanical components and I'm very happy with your work. I can't wait to be able to wear them!”
