Jeweler

Hillarie Gowers

Hillarie Gowers, Jeweler. Hillarie has a BFA in Photography and Film, so everyone was very surprised when the jewelry career path stuck. Hillarie is a jeweler, designer, and the social media manager. When not at the jewelry bench, she helps promote sex education and sex positivity in SLC. She enjoys video games, cosplay, photography, table top board games, and frozen Sour Patch Kids. She has a very long back log of books that she should be reading/listening too, but is on a horror podcast kick and isn’t entirely sure how to get out of the existential hole she has found herself in. 

She wishes she could have photoshop loaded into her finger tips.
