Born in Guadalajara, Mexico, Ayumi moved to Oregon when she was 18 to pursue her degree in Graphic Design, after she graduated she moved to Tokyo where she lived, traveled and learned about her own Japanese heritage, she did freelance work and after four and a half years she relocated to Portland. Ayumi started making jewelry a few years ago as a hobby, designing pieces for herself and as gifts for friends, She loves the process of designing and making each piece individually by hand.
“Inspired by the Beauty of Simplicity” The philosophy behind the collections is that fashion should be simple and easy. Ayumi's jewelry uses influences from her cultural background, combined with minimalism and geometric shapes, giving her jewelry a contemporary feel with a touch of personality.
Ayumi takes inspiration from the beauty of simplicity, trends from around the world, everyday objects and colors. She designs her jewelry according to the seasons, with the intention of her designs being easy to style and wearable for any occasion. Each piece of jewelry is made individually by-hand by Ayumi in her home studio. She began making jewelry because she noticed a lack of jewelry on the market that captured her style. She started making jewelry as a hobby and after her designs caught the attention of her friends and family, she decided to sell her jewelry at local stores and events. Her jewelry is now expanding to other states and Mexico. All the pieces are designed to work well in a variety of combinations or as a singular accent to dress any outfit.
