Stephanie and Zulay Smith of ZassDesign

 A mother + daughter graphic design team in the Raleigh, NC area created ZASSdesign driven to do something worthwhile professionally and creatively, but above all, to do something that inspired them personally. The two transform and upcycle paper printed materials, plastic bottles, and aluminum cans into unique contemporary jewelry pieces. Their philosophy in every creation is sought to respect the environment and the fundamental principle of ecodesign: reduce, reuse, recycle.

Jewelry by Haden Designs

Haden Designs started while designer Liz Esser was living in Brooklyn NY.  It was brought along when she moved to Raleigh, North Carolina in 2007 and it has been evolving ever since.  As a jewelry designer she is inspired by the challenge to use materials other than just metal.  For her, its about creating a cohesive piece which is unique and aesthetically pleasing by combining different textures of materials and items which are new and ones that have been already enjoyed by others.
