I am the owner/Artisan of Passeri Designs, the culmination of a dream of sharing an artistic soul with the world. Originally trained as a classical singer whose vocal chords let her down, Derin finally found an artistic outlet that let her inner voice soar, this time visually.

She enjoys working in many mediums, but her favorites are card making, wirework, enameling, leather work, and metal clay, a medium unfamiliar to many people. This is a medium which leaves a product of pure metal. In the case of silver, either Sterling or 99.9% fine silver. She loves using her Silhouette Curio to aid in the design process and in cutting various medium.

Through her sales, Derin has been able to help with the other great passion in her life: supporting Tiny Hero: A Real Hope for CDH (https://www.tinyhero.org)
