My name is Denise and I live in San Diego, California with my husband and my Havanese puppy, Romeo (he is really 4 years old, but still looks like a puppy!).
I started crafting when I was 9 years old when I tagged along with my mother while she attended her monthly craft gatherings at a local recreational club. I have always loved learning new crafts and equally enjoy teaching others what I have learned over the years.
I started SoCal Made so that I could share my love for local crafters, designers and makers in a retail environment. It is like a small craft show in a store. You will find many different handmade and locally designed items to choose from. We are getting new makers each week so your shopping experience will change each visit.
Inspired by the California lifestyle, Gorjana designs are everyday essentials that manage to be both timeless and effortlessly modern. Jewelry staples that you’ll want to live in, love always, and layer daily.
