Peaches Art and Crafts
Peaches Arts and Crafts started as a small business I created, inspired by my time in the laser lab where I discovered a passion for crafting unique acrylic earrings. What began as a creative outlet quickly grew into a diverse collection of designs that I initially shared with friends. Today, the business operates primarily online, but we’ve also hosted multiple pop-up shops across New York City, connecting directly with the community and sharing our creations in person.
Within Peaches Arts and Crafts, I play a pivotal role that encompasses a multitude of tasks including taking charge of the design process. I enthusiastically dive into the creative realm, brainstorming and conceptualizing unique and captivating earring designs. I strive to create earrings that resonate with myself and our customers.
