Metal Mingle
World Maker Faire 2017
September 23rd-24th
Metal Mingle is an adaptable mixed metal and personalized jewelry line for the laid-back fashionista; suiting her jeans (in both t-shirt and late-night mode) or her favorite new dress. The pieces are modern, minimalist, and handmade in Brooklyn.

Out of college, I was ultra bored with my first "real" job in NC. Needing to feed my always present creative appetite, I decided to take a metalwork class. The instructor told me I was a natural, and that my final bracelet project looked like it was made by someone who'd been doing it for years. Those assurances must have gassed me up (or maybe I just needed any nudge to move on) because not too long afterwards I decided designing was my destiny, moved to NYC to prove it, and never looked back. Since then, I've launched a couple of popular, non-design centric lines and eventually fulfilled my dream of becoming a full-time jewelry artist. As rewarding as that's been, I've always wanted to create a jewelry line that embarks on my love for aesthetics, fashion and design. And so, Metal Mingle was launched as my outlet to do so.
