Little Mocha Earrings- Celebrating Contemporary Design and Native American Heritage
I embraced this opportunity to help design these new Little Mocha Earrings exclusively for Cheyanne Symone! They are a culmination of many ideas and aim to celebrate the natural beauty that surrounds us. Inspired by the cooler autumn and winter seasons, these earrings incorporate a neutral, but deeply rich color palette. During the designing process, I wanted the chocolate brown beads to stand out next to the ivory white, while simultaneously complimenting the matte black ones. Additionally I let my love and appreciation of southwestern pottery and basket weaving guide some of my decisions. For example, the brown triangular sides could be read as shards of pottery and or once paired with the black they become the shape of a bowl. The ivory white sparkles against the freshwater pearl center and also serves as an opening to the sky.

For the past two semesters, Cheyanne Symone had the pleasure of working with a student group from the University of Michigan’s School of Information. The group participated in a capstone project focused on improving user experience on the Cheyanne Symone website.
