One-of-a-Kind Designs

I'm Elisa and welcome to my gallery. I'm a phoenix in the handmade jewelry business, trying to fuel the flames of a passion I stepped away from. I have dabbled in a little bit of everything: genetics, aircraft maintenance, forensics, teaching, writing, content creating, blogging, and jewelry making. 

This past February, I was officially diagnosed with autism, OCD, GAD, bipolar 2, and ADHD: a journey I began documenting first through my blog: And On the Mind Goes, and later on YouTube, creating an honest and vulnerable space for those also curious about their brains. I've been married for over 20 years, and we're the parents to two neurodivergent daughters: my oldest with ADHD and my youngest with Down Syndrome. 

While my brain, and house, can be a busy place, it also is constantly firing off ideas, so I find solace in the solitude of being able to step away, sit at my desk, and get lost in the colors of beads and weights of metals. It is a chance for me to create with tools that become like second hands and a constant editing until each piece feels like it has found its end.
