Alyssa Hearn Designs

What does your business do?
Make jewelry that is beautiful and unique, custom orders and more. All at prices that are actually affordable. As I like to say, I feel that everyone should be able to have that one piece that makes them feel good about themselves, better just for wearing it, not feeling guilty because you over spent but getting a quality long lasting piece just the same.

How would you use the grant money?
I would use the grant money to further my skills with classes and materials that are needed to start my own metal working, firing silver into my own pendant, ring and earring creations. I would also use the money to set up my own little space that I could create with out it taking over the house.

What would the grant enable you to do that you can't now?
I would purchase advertising!!! As of now I do all my own via Facebook or word of mouth and I cannot afford to do other than that as I am trying to do this with out loans or debt, or financial strain to my family.

If Idea Cafe's Grant helps your biz reach greater success, how will you "pay it forward" to help others in some way?
I would help women in shelters who are trying to start a new life, get jobs etc...with gifted jewelry to go with outfits for interviews, to donate jewelry for raffles to help fund shelters for battered women and abused animals as I have been doing but on a broader scale. If I had all the money in the WORLD never ending? That is what I would do anyway.
