Getting Personal with the Bead Team...
Meet Becky and Jess F. from the Design Team. Becky has been designing with our Team for several years, her work is incredible! And Jess is a newer member who also has an incredible eye for color and design.The Bead Team Design-Assistants & More!
The phrase 'It takes an army' couldn't be more true than in the beading biz. Once a strand is designed it must be approved (a sometimes grueling and potentially annoying process - those who know anything about having to be creative on a deadline can understand this!), after approval the bead stock for the strand is weighed out using scales and placed in a tote for production. Then the strand sample and stock goes out for production by our Independent Contractors, aka Moms because most are local stay at home mommies! When the strand stock has been all strung up the strands come back to us and then off to you!
Our Design-Assistants are Gabriella and Millie - These two incredible ladies make sure the stock for all the strands is packed appropriately with it's reciprocating sample, and they keep the mood light everyday with their stunning personalities and absolutely hilarious banter. Mucho amor muchachas!
Our Petite Strand Princessa is Miss Liz - The Petite Strand Family, which is one of the most popular strand lines ever released by JJB, is created by Liz. These little petite wonders are always flying off the shelf, and Liz makes sure we keep satisfying your need for the ever-sweet Petite!
The Assistant to our Manager is Ashley - Ashley is right-hand wo-man to our Bead Manager, Robin. Life in the day of an Assistant Manager consists of designing strands, managing backorder lists, taking photos, blogging, organizational work and all sorts of other behind-the-scenes work. Ashley is also an incredible seamstress. We love having her creative energy on our Team!
We Love the JJB Bead Team!
