Terra Neu & Charmed have been my ride-or-die from the very beginning.

Back in high school, I earned the title of “jewelry queen,” transforming random trinkets and broken pieces into fabulous charms from my collection of found objects. My bracelets became so popular, they practically had their own fan club!

The name Terra Neu was given to me by a Native American medicine woman I studied with, who told me to ask the Creator what it meant. Over time, the name has shaped my journey, symbolizing transformation, creativity, and honoring the beauty of nature.

I’ve always been a creative spirit. One of my earliest passions? A Kewpie Doll rubber stamp. I’d design tiny outfits from paper scraps and dress her up in quirky styles. That same playful energy still flows through my work today, inspiring everything from jewelry to the handmade treasures I create.

As my creativity grew, so did Terra Neu. A shop on Central Street in Evanston picked up my brand, and soon, I was crafting everything from gift boxes and journals to candles and sculptures—anything that sparked my imagination. Around that time, Charmed {Bead Part of the Solution} was born—because who doesn’t love a FUNdraiser with a purpose?

Charmed is all about repurposing treasures and sourcing from fair trade vendors—true superheroes supporting families around the world. I also collaborated with local artists and shops, building community one bead at a time. A portion of every sale went to fundraisers and nonprofits because sharing is caring!

When I moved to sunny Orlando, I brought my creations to Etsy. As my chemical sensitivities increased, I started crafting my own personal care products—and soon, others wanted in on the action too!

Today, Terra Neu continues to evolve, just like that little Kewpie Doll—always finding new ways to bring joy, creativity, and conscious craftsmanship to the world.
