Unseelie Designs is a creation from the mind of Amanda Shaw. I live in Flint, MI and am a student of Graphic Design with a specialty in Web Design. I am what is called a polymath. In other words I have various interests in very diverse fields. From art and jewelry design to computer repair and coding websites. I just love going from one project to another and back again.

I started working with chainmaille in 2005 with a simple bracelet. It wasn't the best, but I fell in love with the art immediately. Even since the beginning I have made all my own rings, deciding I prefer to have complete control over the size of them. Now I work almost exclusively in stainless steel, absolutely loving the material for it's durability. Eventually I started learning the more classic jewelry making techniques and Unseelie Designs was really born.

Aside from my jewelry I also enjoy working as a photographer. It started with needing to take my own pictures for selling online and blossomed into a fun mode of expression. All of the photos on the site are my own work. In fact I run just about every part of the business, from designing and making the jewelry to the accounting and coding up this very lovely website you have been so kind as to visit.

On another note I'd like to send out a huge thank you to Raina Kuptz for designing the background illustration. She does some amazing work and everyone should go check her out.
