About

Hi, I’m Grace — a wildlife biologist and jewelry designer. I create bold, globally inspired pieces for women with a passion for global culture and discovery.

Tsuga Beadwork is jewelry for those who are drawn to texture, meaning, and a sense of place.

Each piece is designed and hand-stitched by me in southern New Mexico, using ethically sourced gemstones and materials from small businesses. My designs are inspired by forms that live in memory- architectural lines, ancient motifs, or fragments of the natural world. They’re abstract on purpose, like Rorschach tests in bead and stone, meant to invite your own interpretation.

My background is in wildlife biology, and that curiosity still runs through everything I do. I’m drawn to systems, patterns, and materials that carry a story. You’ll see that in the work: beadwork that layers geometry with softness, structure with movement, and color with intention.

Tsuga isn’t minimal. It’s intricate, expressive, and built for those who take delight in detail.

I'm committed to sustainability and thoughtful sourcing; all materials come from small businesses or ethically sourced suppliers. Packaging is made fabric from repurposed clothing to reduce textile waste, reflecting my commitment to the planet, shaped by my work as a wildlife biologist.
