DESIGNER
I believe that the right piece of jewelry can make you feel more confident. I’ve designed everything from accessories to home décor, but I’m currently focusing on my first love, jewelry. My designs are classic yet distinctive, bold yet comfortable. I believe that jewelry should empower you to make a statement but be easy enough to wear every day. Find your statement piece.
METALSMITH
After over ten years of study and practice, I can do some pretty amazing things with a torch and a piece of metal. And I’ve accumulated a set of tools that make my husband’s friends jealous. I’m currently putting those tools to use creating my eponymous collection of steel and silver jewelry. Every piece is executed from start to finish by me or my assistant Amy (an amazing metalsmith in her own right) – you’ll find no mass-manufactured components here. Just well made pieces that will last for years to come. Find your next heirloom.
EDUCATOR + ENTREPRENEUR
I’ve been told I’m a natural teacher – especially when it comes to my three favorite subjects: design, craft, and business. I teach design, metalsmithing, and jewelry making at a university and share business thinking over on my blog, Designing an MBA. Whether it’s a lecture or workshop for your school or group, or some one-on-one time to whip your business into shape, I’d love to work with you. Book me for a lecture or workshop. Or, work with me one-on-one.
WANNA KNOW MORE?
I live and work in Jonestown, Pennsylvania, a small town 90 miles west of Philly, with my amazing husband Joe and our 85-pound mutt Grizzly.
I have a BFA in Metalsmithing (it actually says that on my diploma) from Syracuse University, where I also studied entrepreneurship. I have an MFA from Kent State University.
I love power yoga, long bike rides, eating my fruits and veggies, and good beer.
I’m also mildly addicted to Twitter, where you can follow me @meganauman.
