As a native of Brooklyn  I grew up on Gates Avenue in the heart of Bedford Stuyvesant.  As an individual who loved to  create things I started out sewing window treatments, bedspreads, table runners and pillows.  For several years sewed to supplement my income until I stumbled into beading when I was asked to be the coordinator of a bead and crafting club.  In an effort to have the club be a success I took a couple of beading classes and purchased several magazines to perfect my beading skills.  After wearing several earrings and necklace sets I made: I was asked by several people to make sets for them; that's when  I knew I was on to something. Before I knew it I was in the jewelry making business and loving every minute of it.

       Its an awesome feeing having a God given talent and being able to share it with others through my jewelry making.
