Tammy Kinneman Designs was an inspiration that started back in 2000 while she was an aspiring interior designer. She’s always had an eye for color, form and texture, paralleled with an insatiable passion for all-things creative. Coming upon her college years, she found her passion for creativity falling into the world of interior design, earning her a bachelor’s degree from Kendall College of Art and Design. As she forged her way through the interior design world, she found her attention could not only be held by just interior walls of residential and commercial structures. She was captivated by jewelry in all it’s endless beauty, form and facets of design. Tammy soon realized her affinity toward jewelry design had been an unopened gift waiting to be discovered. As she started making jewelry, she found it was truly a God-given talent she could not ignore and was compelled to follow the path which she knew was undoubtedly part of her life’s purpose.
