Emily aka Pancakes aka Cakes aka Knick-knack

I was born and raised in Boise, Idaho, where I attended High School and left quickly after graduating early. After a few years spent chasing snow and skiing every day in Utah and Colorado, a summer skiing mount hood and another with family in Florida, I ventured to California where I began working in action sports as a camp director at Camp Woodward. I then moved in with my cousin in Arizona to help with her set of sextuplets, with whom I had lived and help raise in my teens. In 2012, Long Beach became my home, where I stayed and worked as a nanny, bartender and model for the next 5 years. This is also where I learned and fell in love with metal smithing and jewelry making, which continues to be a passion of mine. Between painting, photography, metals, cooking, sewing and crafting, I am perfectly content utilizing my creativity. 

I currently reside in Ketchum, Idaho- enjoying the mountains and the amazing people that come with the scenery.
