Emi is an Accredited Jewelry Professional, artist, herbalist, mental health/wellness advocate and chronic pain/illness warrior. Designs is the creative pursuit of my passion for designing, creating, and selling beautiful and unique handmade beaded jewelry to make women, men, teens and kids feel more confident and stylish. I sell my one-of-a-kind pieces at festivals, art shows, craft fairs, etc. I
am also available for small jewelry parties/lessons. My mission is to support mental health organizations in order to raise mental illness awareness, to reduce ever-present stigmas, and to support su***de prevention, especially in young people, where these issues often begin. Currently, I am a volunteer/leader for mental illness organizations. When I am able to, I will donate a percentage of profit from my jewelry business in order to help encourage the acceptance, education, research, and proper care of mentally ill human beings. Ideally in the future, I'd love to open my own mental health organization and encourage the use of therapies such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Art, Movement, and Music Therapy to help those affected with mental and physical health issues. I feel a strong desire and need to inspire, educate and motivate mentally and physically ill people to seek professional help and build a positive support network for themselves. I will need help from others to reach success in many areas through this long process and will continue to pursue my passions and find ways to contribute to mental health organizations. Designs is my passion and platform to speak for the mental health community.
