As far back as I can remember, if I wasn't playing sports or running, I was painting, making jewelry, ceramics, sewing, crafting, reading Vogue and making teepees in the back yard... Anything that could help to channel my excessive amounts of energy and get me to sit down for a few minutes.

Not much has changed over the years, I still have a passion for all things creative and I can't sit still for the life of me. I think the only thing that has changed, is that I've added excessive travel to my list of passions... Oh, and I'm now on Etsy!

Lateral Este first began back in high school. I would see certain jewelry and paintings and think, "I could make that,". Or, I would make pieces when I couldn't find the "exact" style I was searching for in the stores. As years went by, friends would ask me to make pieces for them and insist that I sell them...

And that pretty much brings us to the present....

I hope you enjoy everything as much as I enjoy making it!
