Jennifer Ishimoto Designs

Always armed with a love for fashion, design and anything eclectic my passion (and yes it’s HOT) has always been to create, whether it be while I was grounded in the bathroom as a child (I made toilet paper people), or delving into business for myself and designing my own website, I am constantly developing and growing. Often found at my computer building print media; (when I'm not wrapped up in my jewelry world) I absolutely love the thesaurus, experimenting with fonts, shuffling photos, and feel a certain high when I have copy printer-ready.

Gravitating toward unique and eclectic designs while enjoying the individual consultation that takes place with each piece, I am passionate about my work. Input from my clients is most appreciated, and a flawless and meaningful design is the result of this fantastic collaboration of minds.

Having done the corporate thing, I had some great times as a trainer and business office supervisor, but the stirrings of my soul have dictated my “now”, I need to express myself artistically through the medium of jewelry design. Aside from all this creation, my other love (of course I love my awesome family too) is volunteer work. I have been an active CASA (Court-Appointed Special Advocate) to a vulnerable foster youth for over three years and also help my local office doing community outreach a couple of mornings a week.

Very into "giving back" to the community, I have executed many fundraising efforts. My most memorable times were when I (and friends) crafted over 750 crystal sterling silver toe rings to support breast cancer research (it was a blast even if I did get blisters on my hands...) and when I was able to raise over $1750 through a jewelry sale where 100% of the proceeds were sent to the American Red Cross to help those suffering through the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Have a great fundraising idea? We'll see if we can make it happen!

Raised in numerous cities, (it’s a long sob story that undoubtedly you don't want to hear...) throughout the states of WA, CA, NV & UT I grew to be adaptable and creative. By 16 I had moved out on my own. I continued my nomadic ways until I met my husband and he insisted (begged) that I put down roots.

By placing roots (a husband, 2 kids and a degree later) I morphed into what I am today, still enjoying meeting people and loving to try new and different things. Perhaps this is why I have been drawn to jewelry design, it allows me to meet with a client, qualify their needs (and wants) and create a work of art that is exciting and individual. Success can always be told by the look in my customers eyes as they take in their piece for the first time or by the many, wonderful notes and letters I receive.

Residing in Rancho Cucamonga, CA I ship my work throughout the country and world-wide. It must be said that I have an incredible life and the best “Job” in the world!
