Hey, I’m Selena, your go-to jewelry maker for compassionate babes.

I’ve always known I was an artist. What can I say? I spent more time at the craft table than the playground as a kid. Though my formal education involved getting a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts, I’ve been drawing, painting, and making things ever since I was a little girl.

I was hustling jewelry at a young age.
It was junior high when I got really into bead work. My mom, being the crafty person she was, made me a cute little wooden box to showcase all of my bead jewelry, which I then took to school to sell. Not to brag, but I did sell out my work.


Unfortunately, an encounter with theft is enough to stifle the entrepreneurial spirit of any 8th grader for a while (I know it was you, Jessica)!

I lost my dad to ALS in 2019, so when I returned to making jewelry in 2020, I knew I wanted to honor his memory in some way.
Plus, I know my dad would love to see me still pursuing art, creativity, and making things. Altru is a way for me to both honor my inner artist, as well as play a part in finding the cure for ALS. That’s why I’ve created a specific collection to bring awareness to the ALS cause, and donate 15% of all Altru proceeds to ALS research.

THE HEART BEHIND ALTRU:

Fewer people should lose their loved ones to ALS — and more people should have jewelry they feel freaking cute in.

Altru Jewelry is for the compassionate babes who want to make sure their dollars are going towards ethical brands and good causes (and looking cute doesn’t hurt either, does it)?
