Wild Prism Studios started when burnout pushed me back toward creativity.

As an entrepreneur, wife, and stepmom of two teenagers, I realized somewhere along the way I had lost the creative part of myself. Signing up for a pottery class was supposed to be a small escape. Instead, it turned into something much bigger. I fell completely down the rabbit hole of clay.

I find inspiration everywhere! Fabric patterns, colors in nature, modern design, and everyday objects. I’m drawn to bright colors, interesting lines, and pieces that feel playful but intentional. Colored clay and nerikomi have become staples in my jewelry, and I love creating functional pottery that brings a little beauty and personality into daily life.

Most of what I make is one-of-a-kind. Clay has its own personality, and I like letting that show. The goal isn’t perfection, it’s joy.

Wild Prism Studios is about color, curiosity, and the magic that happens when you follow the white rabbit and start making things with your hands again.
