Tell us a little about yourself.
I’m a jewelry artist that creates colorful, bold jewelry from LEGO® – both fashion ready-to-wear as well as larger, one-of-a-kind conceptual work. I’m a small business owner of two businesses, emiko-o reware (jewelry wholesale/retail) since 1998 and emikooyoga since 2017.
When I’m not in the jewelry studio, I’m teaching Restorative Yoga and the MELT Method® at yoga studios around the Bay Area. Jewelry making is hard on the body and I find that this balance of both art and mindful movement keeps me sane and my body healthy and out of pain.
I’m obsessed with corgis, although we don’t own one….yet.
