Welcome to Swift Modern where I pour my burnout, savings, and every hint of design inspiration into my line of jewelry. Swift Modern is a healthy does of modern jewelry with a wink of vintage and unapologetic femininity. The resin and clay are done by hand and then the pieces are then assembled by hand.
After a very intense career in marketing, I realized I had a choice. Get swallowed up by the unrelenting 'bro' culture, continue to show up in riot gear ready for whatever team/region of the world has decided you're to blame for their woes, or choose a lifestyle that is...healthier. And by healthier, I mean enabling Swift Modern to be what happens when a person walks away from corporate chaos and dives headfirst into a blank slate of creativity with a simple rule...create joy and let everything come from that.
Swift Modern is about capturing a modern vibe with a little pop of the unexpected. Think minimalist design inspired by the modern and vintage aesthetic, whether architecture, interior design or fashion.
The Joy of Design (Minus the Politics)
Unlike corporate life where everything has to be justified, revised, compromised, reviewed, aligned, rinsed and repeated umpteen times, I get to skip the nonsense and focus on what I love. And what I love is making jewelry that feels effortless and stylish. We've got a few core lines and a rotating cast of Limited Edition drops because I love newness and well, I keep making new things and can't seem to stop.
And speaking of variety, don't be surprised if you see some serious Palm Springs vibes along the way. I live part-time in that beautiful, sun-drenched oasis, so it's naturally become an unintentional muse. There's something about all of that sunshine, the midcentury vibes, and the perfect martini that just begs you to crush a little turquoise and hot pink. Palm Springs has been my escape from corporate and now I've realized it's also become an inspiration.
Swift Modern: Jewelry for the Confident
Let me be clear, I'm not saying my jewelry is for boss ladies or whatever this week's trendy meme is. To me, confidence is trying new things, stretching your boundaries until you feel just a smidge unsure of what the hell you're doing. Confidence is about appreciating days when you feel like you crushed it. And when you don't, confidence is about having the grace to give yourself a hug, have a little beverage and remind yourself that tomorrow can be a blank slate of extraordinary if you let it.
So welcome! Feel free to explore, ask questions, and if you're up for it, add a little Swift Modern to your day. This is jewelry that is meant to be worn, noticed, and make you smile.
