About the designer

Licia started beading in 1990 by borrowing her younger sister's beads. Honestly, she wasn't using them. Shortly thereafter all her birthday money was consumed by local bead stores and she started selling seed beaded necklaces to classmates. 

The compulsion became an actual business in 2005 and went online shortly there after since the internet was going to be a thing, I guess. 

Her work has been featured on countless humans and probably some pets (do what you want, she won't ask questions). Her infamous TP earrings initially started in 2007 and were featured on The Tonight Show in 2013 and worn to the Hollywood AFI awards dinner in 2017 and not worn by Brandon Farris (he tried, what can I say) in 2020. 

She is a wife, a mother and 4th generation Seattle native that may or may not accept coffee as a bribe. She poses on the floor of her kitchen and writes about herself in third person because who else is going to write this for me?  Do you want to write this for me? 

She is a cat person and likes pineapple on pizza and stormy weather. What else do you want to know?
