Having gravitated toward different styles and tastes her entire life, designing and creating unique jewelry fits JD perfectly. She took a jewelry design class for fun, and that's all it took.

She has focused on learning the art and craft of jewelry design. The result is striking designs coming from of a love of simple beauty and a joy for making things by hand. In 2015 JD opened JDandMe, making her idea of creating custom jewelry and having her own jewelry studio a reality.
