Laura's Story-

I come from a beach-loving family. When I was 5, I thought the trek from the boardwalk to the water was a miles-long, hot desert that we had to cross to get to the oasis that is Wildwood, NJ. Over the years, I found the calm water just past the violent beach waves. I swim in until I can't feel the ground and I think, reflect, breathe. The salt water is healing. This design is dedicated to people's happy places. Where do you feel peace? May you find yourself there more often.

So how do you make these things?

With blood, sweat, and beers- I mean tears.

Learn

I start every collection by learning a new way of making, which is vague, but it's true! I learned knitting, macrame, and weaving before I ever learned how to cement cast and laser cut the products I have released so far.

Conceptualize

The next thing I tend to do after learning a new skill is focus on creating something different and interesting. Making a viable product to sell brings a complex element to the table where I need to calculate time, cost, and labor while also ensuring I am making a quality product that works well. I ask myself, "Would I want to buy this?"

Design

Once I have an idea, I run with it. I'll spend hours, days, even weeks tinkering around with it, making version after version, testing it, adjusting it. It's how I really craft a product, and it takes shape and changes until it's something I am truly happy with.

Make

Sometimes it takes a few tries to get it just as I want it, because I am a stickler for detail. I get my hands dirty and have fun! I get to play with colors and shapes! I see what I'm capable of and sometimes I even surprise myself.

Share

I can be private about my work at times, but having this platform has forced me to come out, share my art, and challenge myself to keep the creative juices flowing. The positive response has meant a lot!
