About

Hey y'all, my name is Leah Nolen and I'm the girl behind it all at Leah Marie Designs! 

Jewelry has always been more to me than just accessories- it's a way of expression. My journey into the world of crafting began with two incredible women in my life. My MeMe, who first introduced me into the world of jewelry making, handed me my first pair of pliers and taught me how to make earrings. Those pink pliers are a treasured gift and are still part of my toolkit today. 

My MawMaw on the other hand, taught me everything I know about sewing and instilled in me a deep appreciation for the creative process. With her guidance, my passion for crafting flourished, and I found a way to combine our shared love for making things by hand. 

In 2020, during a time when creativity became my source of comfort, I rediscovered my love for crafting, starting with making chokers and earrings for myself. What began as a personal hobby quickly transformed into something more as I realized I wanted to share my creations with others. This passion turned into a business, and today, it continues to grow and evolve. 

After graduating from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in the summer of 2024, I'm excited to take this business to the next level. In creating this website, I'm ready to share my creations with so many more people and do so much more with this business. I can't wait to see where this new journey takes me!
