About Brand
Name comes from: In 2013, I started making candles in handmade ceramic containers. A few months into this new hobby, two of my best friends were visiting me in NY. One evening, we were hanging out in my living room as the sun was setting with (probably!) every candle I had ever made lit. My roommate at the time walked in and said, “It looks like you're having a very Casual Seance!” It was one of those moments you never forget.
Inspired by: Minerals/Nature/Herbs/Healing
Why you started: As an escape from my 9-5 I spent most of my free time making ceramics. In 2015 I decided I wanted to design (one!) ring. That one ring turned into a career, and I am grateful for it every day.
Where you are heading: I approach design with an emphasis on quality over quantity and a commitment to using environmentally, ethically, and socially sustainable materials. The jewelry industry is synonymous with exploitation, I am dedicated to changing this trajectory by partnering with like-minded suppliers, communicating with transparency, and sharing learnings along the way. If there is one thing I have discovered throughout this process, sustainability is a journey, not a destination!
TLDR: My mission is to create jewelry that will be treasured for generations while positively impacting an industry that is in need of great change!
About Life
Bored if: It’s to cold to go outside!
Feel like dancing if: I’m with my nieces. Kids have the best dance moves. No rules!
Hungry for: Real conversations
Excited when: When new produce is in season at the farmers market!
