AZZAMARIE DESIGNS specializes in small batch gifts & paper goods designed to bring love to the everyday.

During many moves all over the U.S., reflections through making things was (and will always be) my way of staying grounded. Stationery checked three boxes: expressive design, the right size, and a way to connect to people all across the U.S. These designs expanded to include DTC and Small Batch apparel, bags, stickers, and wrapping paper. Leather jewelry was added as a result of bringing new life to the beautiful discarded materials from my old job with a craft that I had been dabbling with since undergrad.

I create handmade beaded flower jewelry, so each piece is unique from one another. My creations show the hard work and dedication that was put into the process and I hope to share this beautiful delicacy with others!
