Artist at work...

Janneke H
Production Assistant



I hold a BA in Sociology with a minor in Psychology and have a diverse professional background that includes retail, non-profit work, and the wedding industry. My career began in a small local gift shop, where I developed a passion for working with creative people and beautiful things. After moving to Seattle from Minnesota, I worked as a bridal stylist, which deepened my love for the wedding industry and eventually led me to Green Lake Jewelry Works!

I’m really enjoying learning the intricacies of jewelry craft and collaborating with such talented, creative individuals. My favorite gemstone is opal, a stunning reflection of my October birth month. Outside of work, I enjoy reading (I’m in two book clubs!), baking, weightlifting, crocheting, and spending time with my cat, Pita. Fun fact: I’m fluent in Dutch!
