She was born and raised on Crete and moved to Athens, Greece for college and ended up staying there. Her day job is working for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">NGO</span>, an organization that helps save sea turtles. Talk about a rewarding job. Her background is actually in political science but she has been crafting for many years. She has also been involved in interior design, photography (as you can tell from her product shots), and theater. She is getting <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">silversmith</span> lessons now and really enjoys it.

She is an undiscovered jewel on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">etsy</span> with no sales yet and super affordable prices. A felted bead bracelet for only $15 is hard to find on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">etsy</span> or anywhere else for that matter! Her shop is so professional and cheerful. I love the cup of coffee necklace, especially how she photographed it using chalk!
