About Plain To Polished

Growth - Positivity - Inspiration - Resilience: These are the words that inspired me to make my dream into a reality. As an expert crafter of many different mediums including stained glass, resin pouring, and hand-crafted signs, I began showcasing my art in various retail stores before making the jump to open my own brick and mortar store in 2018. It was cathartic, relaxing, and soothing to source my own products and curate my own goods in my way. But what I once thought were crafts that would forever nurture my soul, soon transitioned into a passion project that allowed me to collaborate and support other women. After spending deeper time and connecting mental and emotional ties to other women in my industry, I quickly realized that the stories behind each item I curated brought hope to both myself and the people who purchased them. I connected with women over mutual emotional, mental, and physical barriers in ways I never had before. When women selected pieces of jewelry and began telling me stories of the gifts they were giving to themselves or other people and the meanings behind them, it made my heart soar, and my purpose ring loud and clear. I love to hear of their experiences, challenges and triumphs. The inspiration behind each piece of jewelry I design, is created from the stories of women who are amazing, beautiful, brilliant, brave and powerful.Read their story
