FOUNDER / OPERATOR / DESIGNER / MAKER
Having spent the last 20 years as an accessories designer for various vertical retailers, Katie witnessed first hand how staid these industries remain today and began to feel incredibly let down by her career choice. From pretty early on, she started scheming alternative ways to go about traditional manufacturing and kept coming back to the one idea of maintaining personal ownership over the entire process, start-to-finish. "If I could just keep everything within in my own two hands..." she dreamed. So when the pandemic hit in 2020 and basically upended everything, she knew the time was ripe for opportunity and thus, HEA Design + Supply was born.
Cheekiness aside, “HEA" (Happily Ever After) is our promise to provide environmental and social consciousness along with every aspect of the products we make. All of our raw metal materials have been reclaimed, except our Titanium which is virgin, surgical grade and made in the USA. Our stones are sourced directly from trusted mines or labs always and we maintain a relatively low footprint by keeping everything on site for the entirety of production. Lastly, the HEA studio is completely off-grid, powered by none other than that California sunshine!
