About Alaska Creations

Jacob Weerasinghe was born and raised in Haines, Alaska. He started Alaska Creations in 2015 with an entrepreneurial spirit to embrace new ideas and dreams to design Alaska-made products. Jacob is a motivated self-starter and began by making jewelry at age 11. His earrings are inspired by the colors and textures of Alaska beaches. Slices of beautiful hand-painted wood and beach glass-colored designs are local favorites. Jacob is inspired by seeing what locals and visitors are delighted with discovering in his collections. Alongside his jewelry collection, soy candles came next into production as a way to offer natural soothing fragrances representing Alaska landscapes. Jacob also started a clothing line with designs drawn by lifelong friends. T-shirts, hoodies, and sweats featuring a series of modern totemic original Alaska-designed artwork have been a huge favorite of locals and visitors! Read their story
