Then, the pandemic hit. I spent way more time in my hot pink childhood bedroom than I had ever expected I would as I entered my twenties. To pass the time, I dove into arts & crafts again, coloring, painting, embroidering patches of fabric. One day when I was drawing, I kept doodling these little squiggly shapes. I thought to myself, “Wouldn’t these be cool earrings?” Next thing I know, I was starting my next art project: Lobe.

Lobe is a love letter to your childhood, to coloring outside the lines and proudly hanging your work on the fridge, scuffing your knees from climbing trees in the woods, melting crayons together to see what color they’ll make. Lobe lets you be creative, playful, and imaginative again — because earrings should be fun.
