Elise H
Designer | Bellevue Studio
I'm GIA educated and hold my AJP and diamond grading certificates. While I was based in the Midwest, I started looking into places I might want to work, and that search eventually led me to Green Lake.
My design eye leans toward Art Deco, Edwardian, and Minimalism, and I'm constantly inspired by looking at jewelry's evolution through human history. I love finding ways to bring that history into pieces that still feel personal and modern.
What I love most about this work is watching people come in happy and leave even happier. Getting to help someone bring their vision to life, and being excited right alongside them for whatever they're celebrating, never stops feeling special.
Outside the studio, my other artistic outlet is Latin dancing, though really I'll dance anywhere, anytime, with anybody, Latin, African, Hip-hop, I love it all. I spend my free time hunting for finds at auctions and estate sales, getting out on my paddleboard whenever I can, and baking a mean coffee cake. My design assistant is a cat named Mr. Pistachio.
I have friends and family in the area, and I fell for the lifestyle here too, the crunchy, outdoorsy pace, the amazing Asian food, and the clean air. Between that and finding a place built around custom work and creativity, Green Lake felt like the right fit.
