Austin jewelry designer, Alex Sheppard, was born and raised in Michigan. She opted for a warmer climate when selecting to attend the University of Texas and pursue an engineering degree. Following college, she worked for several years designing circuits. After meeting her husband and having children, Alex changed direction and choose to take on the significant role of stay-at-home mom. Alex discovered her meticulous attention to detail translated well to jewelry design. She found she had an eye for coordinating fashion with artistic elements. After receiving numerous compliments from both friends and strangers, Alex began designing her own jewelry that combines a flair for artistic design with Austin’s uncomplicated, laid-back culture. Her use of gemstone and beads can be worn every day either dressed up or down.
