​I help creative, stylish women design and make your own leather accessories ie: handbags, jewelry, home decor and footwear without the cost and hassle of design school.

 

I studied Accessory Design design at FIT, and earned my Masters in Art with a focus on Design & Craft at NJCU. 

Running my own line, Jypsea Leathergoods, for 20 years and teaching fashion and accessory design classes/workshops at reputable institutions such as Drexel University, Moore College of Art, Vogue College of Fashion since 2008; I love nothing more than passing on my many years of knowledge and experience in easily digestible ways so that you are making luxurious accessories as soon as possible. 

​

If you enjoy making beautiful things with your hands and want to hone your craft -- not just blindly follow commercial patterns --- you're in the right place.
