About Me
I grew up in Rhode Island where I received my Bachelors Degree in Business from Bryant University and Masters Degree in Management from Salve Regina University. I've been living in Bradenton Florida for about 8 years now. I'm a full time bank manager with 19 years of banking experience. I'm a wife to my amazing husband Linas. I'm a mom to my beautiful rainbow baby, Zoey. Lastly I'm a dog mom to my furry love, Bella.
Hobbies
I love to play Volleyball. I also love to walk to beach and look for sharks teeth! I also have a huge passion for animals. Unfortunately I'm allergic to them and I also cant tolerate blood so being a vet was out of the career picture. When I moved to Florida I started volunteering at a Wildlife Rehabilitation which took up most of my free time. For over 8 years I have been able to help rescue, rehabilitate, and release wildlife back to Florida and it has been amazing!
How It Started
If you know me, you know I love anything sparkly! I had seen a rhinestone peacock in an art gallery and instantly feel in love. I thought 'I can bedazzle like that too!'. That's how Kate Crystal Designs started.
My Work
I'm passionate about my work. I wouldn't sell anything that I wouldn't personally buy. Each rhinestone is individually glued onto the piece. These designs take a lot of time but I really enjoy creating them and look forward to spreading this beauty I created with others!
