CLAYD Collective came full circle with handclayed adornments made for the everyday person -- each collection is lovingly made and honours someone dear to me. I design (punny branding!), cure (bake) and package each order by hand in my home studio, in Sidney, BC.

I'm a Graphic Designer by trade when I'm not by the computer, I throw bowls and mugs at the pottery studio (non-violently). Due to studios closing during COVID-19, I started claying around with polymer clay and crafted wearable accessories -- I was hooked.
My jewelry-making began over 20 years ago -- In elementary school, I handmade and sold rings + bracelets to the neighbourhood kids and at flea markets for under $5. I called my company 'Tiffa Beads'. I made jewelry, through high-school, adorned with pearls + glass beads. Once University started, I couldn't keep it up and ended going down the path of Graphic Design -- which essentially allowed me to really showcase my brand and personality.
