A Journey Through Art:
Kristin's creative journey started in 2005 when jewelry became more than a hobby – it became a medium for expressing emotions and channeling life's moments.

Armed with a degree in 2D Fine Arts from Moore College of Art and Design, Kristin embarked on a journey of artistic exploration. Balancing a career in social media and digital photography, she kept her art alive by selling her fine art pieces locally and online. A realization dawned – her true passion was in creation. Empowered by her grandmother's legacy, Kristin embarked on the path of crafting, creating, and guiding others.
