From Hobby to Business: My Journey into Handmade Jewelry with Handmade Designs by Di"

Hi everyone! My name is Dialene Haines and I am the owner and designer of Handmade Designs by Di. I started making jewelry in 2019, after my husband broke his leg. A friend of ours brought over a bag of beads and supplies. I just started putting colors and beads together. It was just a hobby that my husband was supposed to do, but I really got into it. I started making bracelets first. Slowly, growing into necklaces and earrings. 

I started wearing the bracelets to work and my co workers started complementing me on them.  After that I started getting orders and making a little extra money at it. I have learned a lot in the last four years and continue to keep learning.

Here's to a new adventure with Shopify and connecting with my customers in a new way.
