Hi, I’m JulieAnn—the hands, heart, and hammer behind JAK Creations.

Travel, art, and nature all find their way into my work. A ripple of a wave, a curve from a museum doorway, the glint of a stone in the right light—these details often become the spark behind a design. Or sometimes it comes from a conversation had with a friend or family member.

I have a soft spot for materials with personality: iridescent shell, hammered metal, bright gemstones, and finishes that change with movement and light.

My process is intuitive and hands-on. I like to experiment, to problem-solve through making, and to let happy accidents shape the final piece. The hardest part of creation for me is knowing when an item is “done” as I tend toward perfectionism.

When I’m not in my studio I enjoy traveling, going out to dinner with friends or just hanging out at home with the family and all our pets.

Thanks for being here. I hope you find something that feels like it was made just for you - JulieAnn
