Each piece is handcrafted in her San Diego studio and designed to tell a story, celebrating both the echoes of history and the vibrancy of the present.April’s extensive background in digital marketing, with over 15 years of experience in corporate and startup environments, along with her experience in the music industry with Virgin Records and a local radio station, has been instrumental in the success of her business.
