Hey there, wonderful souls!
I'm beyond excited to take you on a personal journey that's close to my heart—a story of how art, specifically jewelry making, has become my saving grace since I received my autism diagnosis last year. It's been a wild ride, but let me tell you, creating wearable art that shines a light on the LGBTQIA+ community and celebrates neurodivergency has become a vital part of my work.
Finding My Zen with Bead Therapy:
Life can get pretty overwhelming, can't it? That's why I stumbled upon this beautiful thing called bead therapy. Picture this: me, with beads slipping through my fingers, finding solace, peace" It's like therapy, but way more colorful and sparkly. Bead therapy has become my secret hideout—a place where I pour my thoughts, emotions, and quirky perspective into tangible creations that make my heart sing.

Art that Transforms and Connects:
Art has this incredible power to transcend words and touch our very souls. Through my jewelry-making escapades, I've discovered something magical. Each bead, with its own texture, color, and energy, tells a story. It's my way of expressing love, acceptance, and celebrating the vibrant LGBTQIA+ community and the beauty of being neurodivergent.
Nurturing My Creative Mojo:
Jewelry making isn't just a hobby—it's a soul-stirring adventure that gives me a sense of purpose. With every piece I create, I'm on a mission to infuse it with intention and meaning. I want my wearable art to radiate inclusivity, to be a beacon of light that starts conversations, shatters stereotypes, and celebrates the tapestry of identities that make our world diverse and beautiful.
Bead Therapy: A Journey of Self-Discovery:
Since my autism diagnosis, bead therapy has become my compass in this wild journey called life. Amidst the twists and turns of my neurodivergent mind, the rhythmic motion of threading beads has become my sanctuary—a way to find peace, clarity, and balance. It's a safe space to process emotions, navigate sensory challenges, and embrace the beauty of my unique wiring while also standing up for and supporting the my community.

Sharing the Joy of Bead Therapy:
Now that I've experienced firsthand the transformational power of art, I'm on a mission to share the joy of bead therapy with others. Whether through workshops, community events, or curated showcases, I'm all about creating spaces where people can unleash their creativity, embrace their neurodivergent awesomeness, and discover the magic of self-expression. Together, we'll create a world where love, acceptance, and understanding reign supreme.
