What type of business do you own or are you associated with? 
I'm the proud owner of Sugar Dove.  I make handmade unique jewelry which include: bracelets, necklaces, earrings and rings.  They have a vintage, boho chic feel...there is something for everyone in the Sugar Dove shop.
What made you decide to open your own business?
It was my husband’s idea. He loved seeing my jewelry creations and the smile it put on my face. He always says to me, “I want you to do what makes you happy, and this makes you happy.” So I went for it! And here we are.
What inspires your work?  
 My life, my friends, animals and my mood inspire me.  I never know what I will come up with.  It's always different and special.  I try not to duplicate too many of my pieces, but on some occasions I do because they are irresistible!
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve been given?  "Follow my heart." My dad told me that, years ago when I wanted to go to Art School.  And I have ever since.
What makes your business/job special?
Working in the art field and having my own business is awesome. My amazing husband always supports me and helps me with my shows; I couldn’t do it without him. I have a small little family but my husband and son are my biggest fans and that’s the best feeling I could have. The Sugar Dove collection definitely stands out from the rest because it’s unique, fun, whimsy, beautiful and made with love. I’m proud of each piece I’ve made with my two hands.
What has been your proudest moment from owning your own business?
My proudest moment is when I see the joy my artwork brings to others. It makes my heart smile and I know that I’m doing what I was meant to do. Bringing happiness to others is the greatest gift.
If you were a rock star who would it most likely be and why? 
 Katy Perry of course!  She is true to herself and goes after what she wants.  I love her style, her colorful imagination and her big heart.  I also love how her songs always tell a story of a moment in her life.  My artwork tells my story.  Whether it's my jewelry, paintings, or my tattoos.  Everything has a deep meaning to me.
  How does your business relate to or benefit the Wedding Industry?
I know there are some funky, vintage, boho chic style brides out there who would love my jewelry. Just one unique piece that shows who you are, makes a big statement. I’ve designed custom locket necklaces for bridesmaids and I’ve made custom brooches for a bride’s bouquet.  The lockets are cool for brides to use to ask their friends to be her bridesmaid.  Brides can put a piece of paper inside the locket with the question, "Will you be my bridesmaid?" or "Will you be my maid of honor?" The lockets are large enough to do that.  It's a cool idea and I've made some for a bride already.  The loved it!
