Speaker: Sandy Rueve of She Beads

Friday April 13, 2012

Time: 8:00 - 10:00 am

Cost: FREE

This month, Sandy Rueve of She Beads will talk about her hand-rolled clay bead jewelry company. The roots of her family-run business span continents and generations and spread to those in need through partnerships with selected charities. She credits her inspiration for She Beads to her love of perennial gardening, and has successfully translated her natural adeptness for design vision that continues to thrive, under Sandy's nurturing, creative direction. Her unique design aesthetic has been meticulously cultivated throughout the growth of this seedling enterprise.

Sandy developed her sense of style and affinity for design while growing up in Cincinnati, Ohio. Sandy knew early on that she wanted to involve herself in a career that enabled her to help others. A devoted stay-at-home mother of two she soon began juggling three part-time jobs to care for her young family. One of these jobs included working as an X-ray technician for the world famous Chicago Bulls. Driven by her creative instincts, Sandy started a small cottage business, designing and selling jewelry and accessories. In 1993, at the request of Michael Jordan, Sandy designed and hand crafted beads for the sports legend. It was through the act of this fortunate deed, that She Beads was born.
