My name is Stacey I am a mother of 2 boys and I am an SF Native! One fun fact about me is that I’m an Earthy soul with a bold creative spark—sewing functional & vibrant accessories, sipping iced matcha, and finding beauty in island life, which is where my mother is from.
I create handmade accessories that help women feel beautiful, seen, and empowered—from vibrant gemstone inspired bracelets and earrings to statement scarves each piece tells a story of care, creativity, and cultural depth.
Growing up I didn’t feel seen or heard, my creativity comes from the need to fulfill this. Accessories allow me to express myself through bold colors and prints that bring me joy. Every accessory I create carries a piece of my journey: my calm strength, my Chinese /island-rooted aesthetic and deep care for how women feel in their own skin.
There’s intention in every stitch and meaning behind every material. This matters because in a world of fast fashion and mass production, my work reminds us that beauty can be personal, intentional, and rooted in connection. I feel that I am not just making accessories— I’m offering confidence, identity, and warmth, one piece at a time.
I’m inspired by the textures and colors of nature. The practice of sewing was passed down from my grandfather. He boarded a ship from China at the age of 9yrs old and arrived in Oahu. He learned the basics of sewing from his cousin who owned a dry goods shop, which eventually landed him to open up his own ready to wear tailor shop. Whether I’m sewing or working with resin, I am grateful that I get to do this as a means of expression and self love rather than for survival.
"One thing I wish people understood about my work is that it’s not just about making pretty things—it’s about storytelling, healing, and heritage. 💫”
My favorite moment of my process is blending color combinations together whether I’m working with fabric or resin it feels magical! I also absolutely love seeing people wearing my accessories out in the wild!
Right now there is so much to feel excited about! My mind is always churning with ideas. I am in the process of rebranding and evolving more as a business. I’d love to collab with more makers and participate in bigger shows.
