Hi, I’m Anna – the jewelry designer and maker behind The Crafting Nomad.  I’m from a small town in Central Pennsylvania.

If I think about my DNA, what makes me who I am, I think of my family, my love for crafting, and facing life’s curveballs – dealing with a curvy spine (scoliosis). When I am not working as an occupational therapist, spending time with family, or making jewelry, you will find me doing therapy to keep my back strong. Making jewelry has been a lifelong passion and an outlet for healing. 

Each of my jewelry collections has a history + a story– from the inspiration from a certain life experience, down to my experiences sourcing beads. I pride myself on sourcing materials that can help me tell my story.
