Meet Amanda
As a child, Amanda’s love for jewelry began with countless hours spent exploring her grandmother’s jewelry box.
Each visit was an adventure—unearthing sparkling treasures, layering herself with every necklace, and adorning her ears with oversized clip-ons that would make any fashionista proud!
One photo, lovingly preserved (and occasionally teased by family), shows her in a mismatched ensemble of princess clothes, sparkling with pure joy and way too much taffeta.
Back then, Amanda dreamed of becoming an art teacher, believing creativity had no limits and sparkle was the best way to express yourself.
While she didn’t end up in a classroom, her childhood passion found a new stage in Barton DIY—where she now helps jewelry makers bring their wildest, most creative visions to life.
Every kit she creates and every supply she curates reflects the playful sparkle of that little girl who never quite grew out of loving all things shiny.
Stay Connected & Inspired!
