Today we’d like to introduce you to Neelima Narayanan.
Neelima, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I been making jewelry forever but mostly started for myself, but then I got a lot of inquiries about the pieces that I wore. It started with commission-based work but slowly things started to pick up and now I have a small home studio and showroom based at my house in mount Washington. It still is very much a passion project and I try to dedicate one day a week to devote to my practice.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
I feel nothing is smooth road! The best ideas come from struggles. It is where you lean the most. My biggest struggle is time management and dedicating time to scale up. I want to be a part of the creative process as much as possible but it does require a lot of time, to organize, and find resources and to sit down and make. I feel with anything, everything should be done with balance including welcoming any challenges that may come.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I have a jewelry practice because I always love working on projects that require working with my hands. In my day-to-day job, I am mostly on the computer. So it is a nice break to change it up creatively. I am known for my handmade quality that looks unique. I usually never make more than one design again so when people leave with a piece it becomes truly their own.
What are your plans for the future?
For the future, I hope to do more collaborate projects but mostly do more design campaigns. I am working on future project that involves more video which I need to plan. Hopefully, it is a project I can do very soon.
