Amy Gates
Amy Gates (Longmont, CO) of Avian Designs enjoys combining her love of the earth with her creative side to make unique upcycled jewelry. By using repurposed items like thrifted leather/suede jackets and vintage cookie tins, she is able to take something old and discarded and give it new life by making it into wearable art!
We live in a throw-away society, but Amy hopes to mitigate that a little bit in her own way by giving old items a second chance. It is her goal to make beautiful jewelry that is both eco-friendly and affordable. In addition, Avian Designs donates a portion of all sales to The Trevor Project, a non-profit organization that focuses on suicide prevention among LGBTQ youth.
