KMAXjewlery
As a maker, they create small-scale sculptures—decorative, functional, or wearable—with an intuitive and experimental approach. Passionate about materials, design, and storytelling, their work often reflects cultural heritage and environment.
From bison pendants marking their return to Banff, to copper tribal mask earrings honoring Cree ancestry, each piece tells a story. Whether it’s tipi earrings symbolizing home or turtle pendants celebrating nature, the narrative is central to their creative process.
