It all began in 2003, on a rainy afternoon in Sheboygan during a downtown Art Walk. I walked into the local bead shop for my first time, and was drawn into the sparkle and possibility. I started becoming a store regular, took classes, became friends with the staff, and even worked there during my high school years. While working there, I experimented with many types of beading, including wirework, bead weaving stitches, and creating my own designs. In about 2010 my main bead styles became French beaded flowers and bead embroidery.

Over my beading life, I am proud to have won the Young Beader Award at The Bead and Button Show 2018, to have created four wedding bouquets for my loved ones, and have a studio space in Grafton, WI at the Arts Mill.

This is just the beginning!
