1. You have been a yogini for over 27 years and you incorporate that into your jewelry. What made you decide to design jewelry with yoga as the inspiration?
My jewelry has always been influenced by my interest in different cultures and bringing them all together in my pieces. I was a jewelry designer for many years as well as a practicing yogini, but about 12 years ago they naturally merged when I made my first Mala style piece. In other words, “I wanted a cool Mala!”
2. Among your clientele are celebrities such as Rihanna, Heidi Klum, Elaine Irwin, Gabby Bernstein, Swizz Beatz, Elena Brower, k.d. Lang, LL Cool J, Nelly Furtado, Rita Ora, Journey, Mandy Ingber, The Black Crowes and Russell Simmons. Have you ever received a unique request when designing a particular piece and what was it? (They came remain anonymous if you would like).
Two people have asked me to create a vial for their dog’s ashes and turn into a necklace. I have not made either. I consider myself a beader, not a jewelry maker and definitely not a glass blower.
3. Each collection ‘s name is inspired by Yoga and Buddhist culture. How did you decide which names you would use and why?
Organic. I came up with the goddess almost 10 years ago. I changed the spelling by adding the hyphen about 8 years ago when a man first bought one!

5. Lastly, where can people find you online?
