Hi, I'm Yadira Eck. I’m a junior designer and apprentice jeweler with a strong foundation in industrial design from DePaul University. I love turning ideas into tangible, high-quality pieces—whether it’s a custom piece of fine jewelry or a functional product design—by combining CAD prototyping, rapid sketching, and hands-on craftsmanship. I value collaboration with clients and vendors, clear communication, and delivering secure, polished results on tight timelines. Outside of design, I enjoy leading projects, mentoring teammates, and exploring new materials and technologies to create meaningful experiences.
