About Dina.
My love for creating began early, at five years old, wandering thrift stores with my favorite aunt. By six, I was making my first creations: a stuffed owl stitched from my Holly Hobby robe and a velvet patchwork pillow my father kept in the back of his black and red, winged Batman Cadillac.
Growing up with limited resources taught me to work with what I had. It sparked a lifelong devotion to transforming unloved clothing, retired jewelry, forgotten household items, and discarded furniture into something new. Renovating an old Victorian home pushed my skills further, teaching me how to take on electrical work, plumbing, and all the hidden layers that bring a space back to life.
The drive for reimagining has led me into a deeper practice- one at the center of intention, healing, and environmental awareness. As my eye sharpened, so did my breadth of understanding of materials, which continue to influence my careful choice behind each decision.
My work flows from the heart of my passions, with each piece nurtured by herbal medicine, healing arts, and energetic modalities. Every experience, challenge, and reinvention, has shaped a life filled with growth, understanding, and a commitment to creating with meaning. This not only brings joy, but is an invitation to slow down, notice the details, and honor the beauty in transformation.
