The Stories

The story behind every collection.

Every collection starts with a spark: a memory, a color, a feeling I couldn’t stop thinking about. Here’s where each one came from, so you know a little of the story you’re wearing.

Anam Cara Origins

This collection started with the words my business is named for. Anam cara is Gaelic for soul friend, a connection that reaches across time and distance. I dug into those roots and kept coming back to the bonds that make us feel at home: the friendships that shape us, and the growth that changes us.

The colors come from earth, sky and sea: deep ocean blues, misty grays, earthy greens and warm sandy neutrals. The shapes borrow from Celtic knots, ancient symbols and organic forms, all chosen for comfort, shelter and belonging. I hope the piece that speaks to you reminds you of your own people, and the places that feel like home.

Every piece carries texture you can feel: rough stone, soft moss, rippled seashell, wood grain and shifting sand.

A Summer Drop

The Sunflower Collection

I’ve always loved sunflowers: the way they stand tall, rooted deep and steady, always turning toward the light. Even on the hardest days, they trust in what’s ahead. I carried the idea for this collection for two summers before I finally sat down in my studio, surrounded by clay scraps, and turned one of my favorite flowers into something you can wear.

It’s made mostly from leftover clay, a reminder that beautiful things can bloom from what’s already in our hands. Every bright, bold color is an invitation to slow down, soak up the sunshine, and say yes to joy.

Classic circles and half circles, each embossed with a delicate gold sunflower, made as oversized studs or drops. (Many gold paint pens were sacrificed along the way.)

Seasons of You · Winter Mini Collection

Seasons of You: Winter

Who says winter has to be quiet, neutral or muted? While I was making this collection, I was craving color: the kind that cuts through gray days and long nights, and makes me smile while I work. So I leaned into bold, unapologetic shades with cool undertones that hold their own.

I also chose to create from presence instead of pressure, to slow down and notice the tiny sparks of joy along the way. Somewhere between the soft clay, the cut-out shapes and the baking, these pieces came to life. They’re a reminder that growth, like art, doesn’t start polished. It starts messy, and then it transforms. I hope you feel that spark when you wear them, on the bold days, the cozy days and everything in between.

Magenta, royal purple, cobalt blue and emerald green, with little pops of bright red like a spark.

A Holiday Collection

Get Your Sparkle On

This collection was born from a simple wish: to bring a little more joy and light into our lives. During a hard year for so many, especially small businesses, I kept thinking about ways to add extra sparkle. Before I knew it, shimmering colors and festive shapes had taken over my work table, and I realized I had something special.

Each piece carries a bit of light, a bit of happiness and a touch of holiday magic, made for a festive night out, a cozy gathering, or simply brightening your everyday style. Give it to someone you love, or treat yourself to a little extra shine.

Bold pops of color and subtle glimmers that catch the light just right.

A Summer Collection

Tutti Frutti

Tutti Frutti came from a simple wish: to bring more joy and color into everyday life. I wanted to make wearable art that puts a smile on someone’s face and brightens their day, and what better time for that than summer? So I turned to my favorite fruits.

Every piece is playful and a little whimsical, made to invite creativity and self-expression. I hope it encourages you to embrace your bold side and find the beauty in the little things.

Six juicy colors: Blueberry, Grape, Green Apple, Key Lime, Raspberry and Tangerine.
