I took my time sourcing out materials that were the very best quality I could offer in my designs, I wanted to use materials that I used growing up, continuing a way of life rooted in my tradition, culture, and deep connection to the land.

I source my materials locally and Moonstone Creations in Inglewood a local Indigenous gallery has been a trusted source for smoked hide and quality materials for my designs since I opened our small fashion house. Our designs feature smoked moose hide, deer hide, deer antler, horsehair and furs. 98% of our materials are sourced from Moonstone, with the exception of the sterling silver wire sourced from a silversmith company in B.C. I purchase enough materials for a collection so that I have little waste left over, ensuring that all parts of the animal are used. I carefully plan out my collections with preliminary sketches, taking into account the number of pieces and the materials I will need to complete it before I even consider purchasing what I need.

The sterling silver wire I use is 20 gauge sterling silver, and I hand form all the findings in my home studio, I enjoy the process of making them by hand and providing a quality hypo allergenic option.

Indigenous “wearable art” is our passion, and I strive to bring that into each and every design I make. I want to elevate our traditional arts from “crafts” to the “wearable art” it truly is, rooted in tradition and culture.
