Meet the Creative Force Behind Alwaysm

Hi! I’m Melissa. I have one “baby”—my Aussie mix, Ellie. She’s my world, and you’ll see her pop up on my feed often because, well, I’m obsessed with her.

A few years ago, I discovered clay, and it unlocked a whole new creative world for me. At first, my inner child ran wild—bright, fun, and colorful earrings became my signature. While I’m now exploring ways to mature my style, I know color will always have a place in my work. There’s something about it that simply excites me, even though I have a soft spot for neutrals.

My journey has never been a conventional one and I don’t think it ever will be. Bipolar 1 disorder has ruled the majority of my life. But I’m learning, healing and growing, one step at a time.

Right now, I’m diving into new jewelry-making techniques, pushing myself to elevate my craft and bring you even better designs. Thank you for being here and supporting my journey—it means the world to me!
