Meryt M
Production Manager
Bellevue
I began developing my creative skills early in life, learning to sew from my seamstress relatives when my legs were just long enough to reach the sewing pedal. My initial career dreams included headlining marquees in the Las Vegas spotlight, complete with glittery and dazzling costumes! However, those dreams shifted into what I now call a “full-blown obsession” with the jewelry and gemstone industry. Since then, I’ve built an incredible background working in design, production, and development across the apparel industry - at both large and small companies - as well as collaborating with costume designers, art jewelers, fine jewelry designers, and boutique private-label jewelry brands. I feel lucky to bring such a well-rounded set of skills and knowledge to Green Lake.
I’m full of energy and creativity, finding inspiration from many sources including nature, astronomy, science fiction, technology, art, fashion, graphic design, photography, travel, adventure and discovery, literature, architecture, history, cinema, poetry, philosophy, introspection, human experiences, music, and dreams. I create masterpieces in various mediums beyond jewelry and apparel, including paper art, hat design and making, singing, dancing, and small-scale sculpture and carving.
