"I’m an artist based in Saskatoon and the owner of Blackbird Beading & Design. I’m Anishinaabe (Odawa) and a member of Walpole Island First Nation.
What started as a personal way to reconnect with my culture and creativity has grown into a business where I create handmade beadwork, artwork, and custom design projects. I work with individuals, small businesses, and organizations to create work that feels thoughtful, meaningful, and true to their story.
My work is influenced by my experiences, culture, and creative expression, and my goal is to create pieces people feel proud to wear, share, or have in their space! ”
