Hi, I’m Ava
I transform secondhand lighting into bold, one-of-a-kind statement pieces. Each fixture is cleaned, painted, and sealed by hand.
My work is inspired by maximalist interiors, vibrant palettes, and a personal vendetta against boob lights.
I love creating lighting for people who appreciate colorful, curated spaces.
I am so glad you’re here!
