Originally from New York City, but now working out of Los Angeles, Kathleen Whitaker launched her line of elegant, minimalist pieces in 2003. As a trained ceramacist, Whitaker enjoys the 3D element of working with metal — much like clay — and chooses to fabricate all of her piece by hand (rather than with a cast). Her designs are never fussy, making for pieces that can be worn every day and for a lifetime.
