How did your business get started?
It started during Covid. I was working in a local studio, and all of the sudden shut down occurred and I found myself with no income. So I would go in to the studio at 3:30am until noon and work to create pieces for my mental health. Then I started getting orders, and next thing I knew I was doing outdoor pop ups and that’s how it all began.
How do we find you on social media and where can we find your pieces?
I’ll be at Pound Ridge Flea on Labor Day Monday otherwise you can reach me via my Instagram
What is your inspiration?
Everyday life! I want my clients to have pieces that they use everyday! Picking out a mug in the morning is one of the first decisions you make and a mug can shape your day, so why not choose a handmade mug to kick off a great day.

Favorite local spot to hike or enjoy the outdoors?
I can often be found hiking Myers’s preserve in Mount Kisco off of Sarles st. I grew up in that area and the trail head was walking distance to my family home. I have so many memories there.
I also love Westmoreland sanctuary I used to be a jr. naturalist there when I was in middle school. Fun fact that’s where I saw my first Bracken Fern!
