The foundation of Wild Indigo Wares is about creating meaningful pieces that connect people to nature and their core memories. This jewelry is built to last and is one-of-a-kind.

Using recycled metals, ethically sourced cabochons (think fair trade coffee), and second-hand tools, as well as not mass producing anything, helps to keep my environmental impact as light as possible.

As fast fashion has become more ubiquitous, I think it is important to dig our collective heels in and ask if we really want to support the endless use of non-renewable resources, the disposable nature of items, and the poor treatment of the humans who make those items.

As a lifelong maker (I’ve tried all the things—quilting, knitting, block printing, stained glass, and even a basket weaving class), I am extremely curious and love to experiment. My past creative experiences help to add depth, form, and texture to my jewelry pieces. I love working with metal and adding tiny details to my pieces.

My pieces reflect nature and the inspiration I find in the flora & fauna of Appalachia. I love to work with my hands, creating tangible objects of beauty that are heirloom pieces, carrying meaning and memories forward through time.
