Featured Designer - Melissa Leistikow - Dream Prism Design
Where: Tuscon, AZ, USA https://www.etsy.com/shop/DreamPrismDesign https://www.facebook.com/DreamPrismDesign/ How long have you been designing? I've been designing for 16 years What's inspires you? Lots of things inspire me, like nature, Pinterest This business can be tough, what motivate you? My fiance helps keep me motivated, and my mother also, she's been in the industries a lot longer than me and she will remind me during the slow months to just keep creating that better days are ahead. She will tell me things like just stock up for the Christmas season Favorite technique? My favorite technique I would say is making the chain link style necklaces, if been told that would be considered wire work but I'm not sure considering I don't do any other type of wire work What's your favorite trend this season? I love the nautical trend, it started for a festival that is held here in Tucson every year but I just fell in love with it. I also love a lot of bling, I guess that why I work with so many crystals! How would you describe your style? I would describe my style as affordable elegance. I try to work with high-quality items and sell them at a price everyone can afford For more of her dreamy creations, or to work with her to create your own, be sure to visit her online stores!
