Founder & Creative Director

Welcome! I’m Karine, Founder & Creative Director, of MizDragonfly's luxurious distinctive limited edition jewelry and home décor. I’m a vibrant woman with a captivating personality and contagious enthusiasm. After graduating university, equipped with a double Bachelor’s Degree in Communications and Sociology, I worked several years in advertising agencies as a Client Account Manager and Media Buyer. I had the chance to work on some of the most prestigious accounts in Canada's National Capital which played a tremendous role on infusing creativity in every sphere of my life.

Following that inspirational experience, I worked for the federal government advising the National Minister of Revenue on how to communicate with Canadians on tax filing by day, while recycling myself into a jewelry designer by night. For countless hours, I burned the midnight oil playing around with various materials and developing my own techniques. Starting as small as learning how to do a perfect wire loop, to figuring out drilling, onto learning more advanced skills like the secret ingredients for making custom of a kind jewelry.

Today, after 10+ years immersing my soul into jewelry, my relentless drive to create never-seen-before jewerly, accessories and home décor made from new and vintage materials continues to takes life in quintessential uniqueness to bring both women and men to life.

I invite you to discover our limited edition collections. I'm personally fond of our dazzling Swarovski crystal hoop earrings collection sure to make your glowing personality shine day and night. And our one of a kind rings collection featuring revitalized vintage trinkets adding just the perfect finishing touch to any outfits sure to make your eyes sparkle! I also have a sweet spot for our bubbly statement choker necklaces collection making for perfect go-to pieces to make an outfit pop! And, new this year, our luxurious velvet cushions collection, featuring photography from my travels around the world, takes center stage as a special gift from my soul carefully handmade to strike a stylish playful note in your home.

Enjoy! xo
