(she/her) is an artist and designer working with glass beads and thread. Experimenting with patterns, color, weight and temperature each piece is created intuitively and made to inspire a sensory experience for the wearer. Imagine the comforting weight of the glass beads on your body, similar to a weighted blanket, the initial shock of cold as you slip it on and then, after a few minutes the accumulation of the beads to your body temperature so it feels like you're wearing nothing at all. They are made to be touched, felt and experienced.
