From dancer to designer... There is an intricate dance between pursuing one's creative passions and navigating the practicalities of life and career choices. Join me on a personal journey through the various phases of my creative life, from childhood passions for reading and writing to experiences as a ballet dancer and eventually a jewelry designer.

One of the best choices I made in my jewelry career was to get support from people who had the success I wanted. Flourish and Thrive Academy is offering a free bootcamp starting on 1/22/2024 called the Jewelry Brand Makeover Bootcamp. If your jewelry or creative business needs a jump start, I highly recommend you check out this incredible resource.

The world of ballet is very much about the discipline, dedication, and the quest for perfection it demands, often at the cost of stifling creativity. Despite the challenges, there are moments of validation and triumph on stage, that feeling where everything is right in the world, and you are in the creative flow.

Through both highs and lows in my jewelry businesses, there were critical lessons learned, the value of community and feedback, and the constant evolution required to sustain a fulfilling creative life. It’s so important to keep learning, growing, and trying new things in this ever-changing landscape of life and business.
