Who Are We?

Hello everyone! My name is Lindsey; I am the heart and creator of Northern Willow and all its designs. I am a born and raised Alaskan and have never lived or thought about living anywhere else. My business is still a brand-new endeavor of mine and I am still very unaware of its potential. My beading journey began with seeing a post about a potted fake plant and wanting to recreate my own version of it because in all honesty I am a terrible gardener and have killed every living plant I have ever owned, so seeing a fake beaded plant and recreating it sounded so fun to me and thus my beading began. 

I am currently working towards finishing my bachelor's in business management, which should hopefully benefit me in this small business path. But my main career has been pharmacy and medicine. I am hoping Northern Willow will help me expand and share my arts and crafts with others. 

As of right now, me and my boyfriend Andrew are running everything from our spare room. I am the one designing and handcrafting each piece made and attempting to start running some social media accounts to help boost the name. Andrew is behind the creation of this beautiful website and some of the technical issues behind operating a website and online store. 

Thank you for being such a big part in Northern Willow’s journey. We are grateful for every single one of you for helping me create and grow this small business. Hoping that each creation I make adds a little magic to your lives! It is a truly rewarding feeling seeing others out there wearing and showing off my creations. Thank you!
