About Me

About me via MarloM.com:
Marlo Miyashiro enrolled in her first jewelry class in 1987 while pursuing a theatre major and acting career in Los Angeles, CA. A few years (and many auditions) later, her desire to learn more about metalworking and jewelry fabrication put her acting career on hold while she joined UCLA's intensive extension jewelry program in 1989. The entrepreneurial spirit ultimately inspired the creation of Marlo M. Jewelry Design in the summer of 1993. 1997 marked a turning point when Marlo M. moved to her new home in Seattle, Washington. The creative climate of the Pacific Northwest inspired a fresh attitude and innovative designs that allowed Marlo M. Jewelry Design to prosper in its new environment.

Marlo M. creates her unique designs in sterling silver using a wide variety of hand tools. Her skilled use of the jewelers’ saw enables her to carve out intricate designs with remarkable accuracy. She then finishes each piece by hand, polishing the metal to a brilliant, mirror-like shine or burnishing the surface with a lustrous matte texture. Marlo M’s devotion to the fabrication process creates objects that are beautiful, functional and durable, lasting for generations.

“My designs truly reflect my personal mission to create fine handcrafted jewelry, accessories and giftware that inspires a positive point of view and celebrates the enduring spirit of friends, family and the joy of life.” - Marlo M.

I spent just a few hours with Marlo this afternoon, and walked away thinking "wow"! Although I'm not a formal "student" of hers, I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fun, spunky, and incredibly savvy entrepreneur to learn from. She's started numerous successful businesses and understands what it takes to turn a great idea into a successful enterprise. She's particularly in tune with the needs of creative folks entering the business landscape.

Give her a whirl, you won't be disappointed.

I am more than pleased to have been working with Marlo for several months now. Marlo's firsthand business/art knowledge and communication skills, along with her compassion and forthrightness is a rare combination of skill and style that truly sets her apart as a mentor and coach. Not only has Marlo helped my business take huge professional leaps forward in such a short time, but she is also in the process of helping me refine my personal priorities and goals in relation to my business and artmaking. Anyone fortunate enough to benefit from Marlo’s mentoring is fortunate indeed.

Marlo is an amazing woman. She has made a life and living for herself doing what she loves (and is amazingly talented at!) In addition, she is willing to share her incredible depth of knowledge about being successful in a small arts based business with those of us who need some help. What an amazing combination.
