My New Etsy Bio!

I'm an industrial design grad from the University of Cincinnati, where I enjoyed illustrating, producing concepts, and making models. I worked for some great corporations where I got experience in finding what products people want/need and making them. I loved it but I wasn't exactly sure what to do after school!

After getting my product design degree and attempting to find my niche in the design world, I decided to go back to my roots and my love for jewelry. I learned how to make jewelry back in high school art classes and I'm continuing to learn today.

I make simple jewelry but I hope that it has an elegance to it that comes from my background in mass-produced goods. I am trained in expanding my design options and narrowing down to the best design (aka... lots and lots of sketching before I even start to make anything!). Right now I'm inspired by art nouveau and art deco jewelry from the early 20th century.

I would love to make a million different types of things to sell in my store but I'm going to keep it simple and try to excel at one thing (metal jewelry). I may expand MollyStuff to softgoods(pillows, stuffed toys, clothing), toys, and furniture someday...
