Laura, Customer Service Representative I am inspired artistically and spiritually by the strength and grace of nature, and it’s determination to thrive no matter the circumstances. I ended up in Oakland after a month of road tripping across the country in a minivan with my cousin, and though its not easy being so far away from my family in New England, I am grateful to be here! In my free time I enjoy drawing, reading, gardening, cooking, and exploring the East Bay with my partner and best friend, Rory. My Current Favorite ComponentsWhen choosing basics like clasps and spacer beads, I look for a balance between my two favorite things: abstract shapes that catch the light in interesting ways, and very simple, clean lines that don’t dominate the design.
