Hi!
I’m Jaki.
I like wheels.
Heely’s, bikes, cartwheels, skateboards, rollerblades, pottery wheels, color wheels...
Sometimes.. running on that damn hamster wheel, too.
I am an energetic multi-passionate creative personality standing at a very tall 5’2”, which is a fancy way of saying…
I like to accumulate lots of different skills and knowledge in various creative ways to make up for my short stack of pancakes.
Let me show you.
I am…
a creator, a teacher, a florist, a pastry chef, a coach, a romantic, a ceramicist, a painter, a climate activist, a nutritionist, a writer, a great sous chef, a short circus act, a green thumb, a loyal friend, an aunt, an independent woman, a good host, and an overactive mind.
Currently, you’ll find me working on various tableware sets for a chef driven restaurant, vessels for a flower shop, and collaborating with a local candle maker. Meanwhile in my spare time turning myself upside-down learning to be an acrobat, or playing with flower preservation in hopes to breathe life and beauty back into the dry and dead (aka “la morgue des fleurs”?).
What’s next?
Scoot scoot, beep, beep… back to wheels.
My first wheel, was probably my tricycle. Post tricycle era, I stumbled into my first pottery wheel. This was around the same age I first tried skateboarding for all of 20 minutes, and before I started practicing my cartwheels. Pottery became a huge part of my life from that moment on, and the rest is history! THE END.
Kidding!
A LOT has happened between then and now. Just look at all those skills I’ve accumulated!
I love to learn. I love to DO. I love to GO.
I love to make stuff.
But most importantly,
I love inspiring others to go after what they love most.
Community is everything.
I want to know the world you see.
I suppose I’ll start.
I’ll share with you the world I see,
Simple. Full of Life. Derived from the Earth.
Enjoy my work.
If you really really like it, I’ll even make it just for you.
