Moments with a Muse is an IG Live interview series highlighting the relationship various creatives have with creativity during quarantine.

Janesse has been a creative her entire life, using different mediums to express herself from a young age. At age 2, she began dancing, and lived a life on stage or on set. She danced her way into a sculpture and design class in 2007, where her love for soldering and metalsmithing began. For over ten years, she has been making jewelry and utilizing this art form as a therapeutic practice. She has now followed her dreams and moved to New York, where she is currently a Masters Graduate and Research Assistant at Columbia University. Janesse blends her creativity with her study focus, which is empowering others to heal from trauma, addiction and eating disorders. Her jewelry design is used as a way to ground and heal herself, in addition to aiding others in their healing journey through crystal work and mindfulness.
