Where do you see your career in 5 years?
I would like to make more than ears pop, and also own a brick and mortar boutique.
What was your motivation behind starting your blog, business, career, etc.?
I started JXL because I had a hard time finding big unique lightweight earrings. When I started 4 years ago I couldn't find anything over 3 1/2 inches other than the basic hoop and if I did find something the earring was very heavy and everyone had that same pair. So I started making my own, that way I could guarantee myself that they would be one of a kind and light on my ears.

I haven't figured out how to balance my personal life and my business yet!
What does confidence mean to you?
Embracing your originality and being in love with it.
Where do you find inspiration?
I find inspiration in everything, but to be more specific COLOR!!! Anything that catches my eye, from a dress to a toy my child might be playing with. Color is what excites me, it makes my creative juices flow. Color is limitless.
What is your biggest dream or aspiration?
My biggest dream is make JXL a well known brand! I have a few customers in London and Australia I'm so thankful for and it speaks volumes to what I could do if I continue to work really hard!!! I want customers all around the world!!!
