About Dragonfly Designs

Dragonfly Designs was founded on the basis of consciousness and expressing individuality. Recognizing the need for arts education for all children, artist Stacee Gillelen launched Dragonfly Designs in 2005. Our goals are to encourage the art of jewelry making, teach financial literacy and entreprneurial skills, encourage creativity, and provide a sense of accomplishment to women and children of all socio-economic circumstances (both locally and abroad) so that creative expression and self sufficiency can also be fostered in those whose parents cannot afford high cost afterschool programs.

We became a B Corp because we want to provide a certified way of ensuring our clients and non-profit partners that we are a socially responsible company; working for the good of all that we touch including our employees.

By partnering with non-profits in the communities that we serve, Dragonfly Designs seeks to bring an ancient form of art, the tactile and creative activity of jewelry-making, into the lives of underprivileged woman and children. Our vision is to empower women and children through art-based education to foster the skill sets that effect positive change in themselves and in their communities.

Dragonfly Designs offers the following Jewelry Making Products and Services: Private Events, Jewelry Making Parties for Adults & Children, Birthday Parties, Jewelry Making Classes for Adults & Children, Jewelry Making Camps (including yoga and eco-hikes)
