 FROM THE START

I have this memory from when I was a kid, when I was about eight, of me going to one of my brother's baseball games. Although baseball games were quite common for my family; on this one day in particular I had gone to great lengths to prepare a collection of colorful woven friendship bracelets for my friends to buy. I meticulously documented each color, and how many I had made, in a little notebook, and all day went around the park showing off my handmade goodies. Although I didn't sell any (turns out eight-year-olds don't have much money) I still look back to day as a landmark moment for me.


That day sparked something in me- I knew what I felt making those little bracelets, and somehow I wanted to capture that feeling and share it with others for the rest of my life.

Permanent Baggage started in 2007 as a public art project while I attended the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design, 
although the products have changed quite a bit, the name has stuck. 


Materials have always inspired me, especially with my background in sculpture. I love being able to get my hands on something with weight, and density, and be able to form the material into something new and unexpected. These are many of the reasons why I gravitate towards leather and fiber arts- specifically in the realm of women's accessories.
