Met has enjoyed and craved making handwork since childhood. In 2000, Met discovered beading and was instantly hooked. She sees beads as a medium offering enormous potential for taking her ideas and imagination to a physical piece of art. The colors, shapes and textures of beads are enticing to her spirit. The process of making an idea become reality or simply experimenting and listening to the beads is very satisfying as well as challenging.

Met left a long time career in Software Development to pursue her creative ideas and aspirations. Met now works from her home studio in the foothills of the Colorado Rockies. She enjoys traveling around the US teaching her bead designs. The transition to working full time with beads and instructing has been rewarding and fun. She loves teaching, working with students and sharing the common bond and passion for beads.
