About Coastal Mimi Designs

Coastal Mimi Designs is a small coastal studio inspired by the shores and stories of New England. I’m Kristine, aka Mimi—maker, metalsmith, and founder—creating jewelry and art shaped by the ocean, its colors, and its history.

For decades, I built a career in the corporate world. When I was laid off in 2025, it became the moment I finally listened to what my friends and family had been telling me all along: it was time to build something of my own.

I launched Coastal Mimi Designs to bring the spirit of the coast into wearable art—drawing inspiration from tidepools, ocean-worn textures, and New England’s coastal heritage. Each piece is made by hand in my small studio by the sea, with care, intention, and heart.

These aren’t just accessories—they’re little reminders of salt air, open horizons, and the courage it takes to begin again. 🌊✨

Handmade treasures from the tides, crafted with heart and a hint of coastal magic.
