Nancy Lee
Ndesigns Metal
Indianapolis, IN. USA

I have been creating in metal for about ten years. In Fall 2008 I
decided to take my passion for making jewelry and turn it into a
full-time career. It was kind of easy because I lost my job as a
project manager in the commercial construction field and it didn’t
look like a job was likely to reappear any time soon. This is all
for the good.

My work tends toward the organic, however there is a lot of
structure to it. It is often described as minimalist. It is often
more about the metal than anything else, however, I use
semi-precious stones and found objects to tell my stories too. My
best work evokes an emotional response and that is a true reward. My
work is body-conscious and very wearable. I have a great deal of
respect for the human body and like my work to compliment the
wearer, allowing the wearer an opportunity to express their
originality and individuality. I love what I do and would do it for
free if I could (and I som etimes do).
