Michelle Perez

Zodiac sign: Gemini
Loves: of all things wabi-sabi, neutral, and vintage.

Michelle Perez is our resident jewelry designer. Originally from New Orleans, she now calls Los Angeles home. She is a true Gemini, using both the left and right side of the brain.

In 2015, her passion for handcraft led her to create AVILLA, a collection of artisan jewelry inspired by ancient cultures and modern form. She makes each piece individually from brass and natural materials, embodying intention and a commitment to slow fashion. 

From sourcing to production, Michelle turns to the ways of the ancients — using simple tools, working with natural elements, and creating as a spiritual practice. She always looks for new ways to pursue conscious, small-scale production. 

Michelle’s spirit-infused treasures are sure to evoke your innate feminine power.
