Hi, I’m Kristen (she/her)—artist, designer, maker, and founder of Combinist Goods, based in Calgary, Canada. I created this brand for people like me: those who embrace bold style, love owning pieces no one else has, and probably have a Pinterest board (or twenty!) dedicated to fashionable unique finds.

Combinist was founded on two core ideas: statement jewellery shouldn’t weigh you down, and personal style deserves room to play. With a background in fine arts and graphic design, I’ve always been drawn to bold shapes, patterns, and colour, pulling inspiration from the shelves of art and design books I’ve collected over the years. While my early creative work was in mixed media and illustration, jewellery always held a special place in my life—it’s a form of self‑expression that has never discriminated or excluded, no matter my age, shape, or style. Jewellery truly is for everyone.

Every piece is designed, hand‑assembled, packaged, and sent by me from my studio based in Calgary. Crafted in ultra‑small batches from lightweight acrylic, Combinist jewellery is bold, comfortable, and easy to wear all day. I love to create pieces for my customers that make them feel stylish, confident, and entirely themselves—every single day.

Thank you for supporting my work, my shop, and independent, Canadian design.
