In high school I started stringing beads and making simple bead earrings, which I brought to college and would give to friends.
I loved art class, I made things from crafts books, I loved building card houses, I made rag-rugs, friendship bracelets, you name it. My mom is an artist, my dad played guitar, my sister was a hairdresser, another sister works creatively in advertising.so I just always gravitated towards making things or building things. I remember crying in my dorm room, and my roommate said to me - "Hey, I know you like to make jewelry.there's a girl down the hall taking jewelry classes - why don't you do that?" Ha! Silly, silly me.Īnyhow, during my 4th semester, as I hit Physics and my first Computer Science courses (somehow I had made it through Chem and Calc), I was failing for the first time in my life (I had never taken Physics in high school, unlike every other single person in my class). The only reason I can give for why this seemed good to me back then was that I was very shy and I liked the idea of not having a job where I had to interact with too many people. I know - what was I thinking? In my naïve and simple, young mind, I did at one point envision myself getting dressed up in business gear and working in a cubicle every day. I went to the University of Illinois in 1991 for Computer Science in the School of Engineering. So, here's a little history of my venture into jewelry and creating a business. And I thought, to begin again, let's start from the very beginning. Well folks, it's been a while since my last post.
