HAND + TOOL Studio

Born out of the creative stillness of 2020, HAND + TOOL was a side project turned small business focused on handcrafted polymer clay earrings. Each piece was thoughtfully designed and made by hand, celebrating texture, simplicity, and everyday wearability.

Sold through Etsy, local markets, and a curated boutique, HAND + TOOL blended craftsmanship with storytelling. Through lifestyle photography, process reels, and social media updates, the brand connected with customers by sharing not just the product, but the heart behind it. The visual identity and promotional efforts were rooted in authenticity—highlighting the handmade process and the joy of slow, intentional creation.

While this chapter has since closed, it remains a meaningful part of my creative journey and a reflection of my passion for design, branding, and building something beautiful from the ground up.
