From Big Smiles to Meaningful Jewelry

From Big Smiles to Meaningful Jewelry

When I was younger, someone told me my smile was “too big.” Can you imagine? My smile takes up my whole face, and honestly, it’s just me. Now that I’m older, I see it as my superpower. That same energy, the unapologetic, happy-to-be-here vibe, is what drives everything I do with Jasper & Elm.

From Theater Kid to Jewelry Maker

Growing up, I was a total theater kid. I loved being on stage, telling stories, and connecting with people. These days, I’ve swapped scripts for jewelry designs, but that creative spark is still the same. I want every piece I make to feel meaningful and expressive, just like the stories I used to tell on stag

Jewelry That Speaks to You

To me, jewelry is personal. It’s about finding pieces that feel right for who you are. Maybe it’s a necklace that reminds you of a favorite memory, or earrings that make you feel put together even on a messy day. I create with that in mind, designs that are simple, fun, or bold, but always true to you.

Theater Lessons in Business

Running Jasper & Elm with a theater kid’s perspective keeps things interesting:

  • It’s about connection. Whether I’m writing product descriptions or packing your order, I want you to feel like there’s a person behind it all because there is.
  • Be unafraid. Some pieces are bold, some are quiet, but every design is created with confidence.
  • Keep it light. Life can be a lot, so I try to keep things fun and approachable, from my designs to how I show up online.

Looking Ahead

Jasper & Elm isn’t just about making jewelry; it’s about creating something meaningful. That’s why part of every sale supports nonprofits, it’s important to me to give back and make an impact where I can.

As I settle into life in Seattle, I’m finding even more inspiration. The stories, the styles, the people I’ve connected with through Jasper & Elm all remind me why I love what I do.

Jewelry That Feels Right

If you’re looking for something that feels personal, thoughtful, and easy to wear every day, I hope you’ll find it here. It’s all about creating pieces that fit into your life and make you feel like yourself, just with a little extra shine.
