Meet the Maker

My creative journey began long before Trayz N Beyond. I’ve loved art for as long as I can remember—ever since I was old enough to hold a crayon. Creating has always been more than a hobby for me; it’s been a way to express ideas, tell stories, and bring beauty into everyday life.

From 1996 to 1998, I studied graphic design, developing a foundation in color theory, composition, visual communication, and creative problem-solving. Those skills continue to influence every piece I design today, from decorative trays and coasters to custom resin creations.

What makes my work especially meaningful is the inspiration behind it. I lost my mother at a young age, and many of the pieces I create are designed with the same care, attention, and thoughtfulness I would have used if I were making them for her. Every item is crafted with the belief that handmade gifts and home décor should feel personal, memorable, and made to be cherished.

At Trayz N Beyond, my goal is simple: create unique handcrafted pieces that bring joy, start conversations, and help people celebrate life’s meaningful moments. Whether you’re shopping for yourself or searching for the perfect gift, I hope each creation reflects the passion, creativity, and heart that inspired it.

Thank you for supporting handmade art and being part of this journey.
