MORE ABOUT YOUR HOST

Tina Cannon

TOP RATED

Tina has worked in the fine jewelry industry since 2010 and has been designing for her own line since 2013. In efforts to find her niche between the two worlds, she began noticing a big gap between her fine jewelry day job and the independent world she moonlighted in during the nights. The knowledge and resources available seemed unapproachable or even unknown to the 'small-time' folks and she felt a need to bridge this gap. In addition, she often worked alone in her studio and craved for a community to share and cry with about the triumphs and failures experienced with running your own business. For these reasons, a few failed spaces, and hundreds of long days later, she created Tytin Jewelry's studio and shop.
