Hello! I’m Ebony Star, the founder of E.Star Bracelets, and I’m thrilled to share a bit about my journey with you. My passion for crafting and creative expression began years ago as a personal escape—an outlet that allowed me to feel centered, grounded, and connected. There was a pivotal moment when I realized just how powerful the art of jewelry-making could be, not just as a hobby but as a tool for mental wellness. This sparked my desire to turn it into something bigger, to help others find that same sense of peace and self-expression.

I absolutely love teaching and sharing my craft because I’ve seen firsthand how it can transform people. Each workshop brings together individuals from all walks of life, and it’s incredibly rewarding to watch them create something beautiful and meaningful. It’s not just about making jewelry; it’s about fostering self-discovery, creativity, and community.

What many people might not know is that jewelry-making is as therapeutic as it is artistic. There’s something so healing about the act of creating with your hands, choosing beads, colors, and textures that speak to your spirit. I take pride in providing a safe, inclusive space where people can explore these elements, and each piece they create tells a unique story.

With years of experience, I’ve had the opportunity to guide a diverse range of people through this creative journey, from private workshops to community events. I am currently employed full-time as a hospital administrative manager, which keeps me connected to the healthcare field, and I am also in the process of becoming a certified mental health peer advocate. My background includes formal qualifications in business (Master of Science in Business), which have helped me build E.Star from the ground up.

If you’re looking to connect with a craft that’s not just about style but also about self-care, I’d love for you to join one of my workshops. Together, we’ll create something truly special—something that’s as beautiful on the outside as it is meaningful on the inside. I can’t wait to meet you!
