Waiting Patiently For Spring To Come...




As the days grow warmer and the snow begins to melt, I find a natural excitement for the coming of spring. It will shift towards a refreshing start to a new year, and with this, comes new goals and dreams to set me off on the right foot. My goal this year is to begin to reach out to all those who have truly supported me through the beginning stages in starting Ophilya. Although I have not reached a comfortable destination in creating a full up and running brand, I have slowly began to expose the wonderful art of creation to all those who have lent an ear to listen. I hope to exceed in creating a welcoming community of individuals who will trust and follow my lead in expressing new possibilities of inspiration.

This is more then just hand crafted accessories, but it has become a way of life. To live inspired you must understand that each day should be cherished and lived to fullest, and all things, both large and small, hold within in it inspired thoughts of creation, for ALL things are both created, and constructed.

Beneath this Surface Lies A Colorful Soul




I think of myself as an individual who wears her heart upon her sleeve. It is within my work I attempt to show the depths of my personality through the materials chosen, and the craftsmanship applied to create a one-of-kind artistic accessory for those who deeply and truly understand the true essence of art. 

From the moment the sun appears and I pull the covers down from over my head, I crave this passion for all my senses. A colorful wardrobe is normally the excitement which pulls me from my stupor and brings back that spark of excitement in creating yet again another memorable day. The clothing which you chose, I believe, should express your inner self, and so with this said, I find myself fighting to deny throwing on all the colors in my closet and attempting to stick to somewhat of a cohesive color palette. But underneath all these luxurious layers lies a colorful soul which lives for life's most tiniest of inspirational thoughts and visions.


      Live Inspired.

Adjust Your Day in a Magical Way



A day of snap shots in the city to find those simple backgrounds of old warn down brick walls that holds within it the essence of historic time. I am proud to be nerdy enough to relish in the love of naturally aged architecture.

Introducing My Partner In Crime



This is Michael, my amazing photographer, my best friend, and the love of my life. When I single handedly began this brand Ophilya, I found myself becoming overwhelmed in the amount of work it took to create an inspirational brand-name which could produce and exceed our clients expectations. Slowly Michael has transitioned into the mix and now this once signally ran brand has become a team effort to seek out the most inspiring and amazing hand-crafted designs. From my background is leather and wood-working I was able to teach Mike what I know. Now we have a full up and running studio which is where we find our days spent, creating new beautifully made accessories from materials such as exotic wood, and luxury leathers. He has become my partner in crime and my fellow worker who has taken on this challenge of presenting to the world a new inspirational way of design.
