About Us
Meet Li, Owner and Maker
Li Harrison hand makes durable origami jewelry - a wearable art.
Li lives with Lupus, POTS, Ehlers-danlos Syndrome, c-PTSD, MCAS, and severe Dysautonomia. They live with their service dog (left), Molly. Li enjoys spending time exploring new parks in Seattle, and reading science fiction.
Li is a chronically ill person who makes baubles.
Why Paper Cranes?
At age 15 Li was taught to fold paper cranes at an after school class. This quickly became their healthiest coping mechanism for managing mental and physical illness. Folding paper and learning origami continues to be a mindfulness practice as Li approaches their 30s.
About Origami
Paper folding is an ancient Chinese art, which was then popularized in Japan. Originally practiced by monks, paper folding is now a mindfulness tool practiced by people all over the world (like me).
The Japanese word origami broken down means folded (ori) paper (kami). In Japan, the paper crane remains a symbol of luck.
Why Accessibility Matters To Me
You should be able to wear the magical, high quality jewelry you've always dreamed of.
As a disabled person I have first hand experience on being excluded from product design. Not every one has the same body and the same needs. At this stage of my business I offer metal changes and closure changes to stay accessible to as many ears as possible!
