Whitney
I love words, quotes, art, people, connecting, traveling, reading, creating, and mostly I love to give.
At 22, I traveled, found amazing goods and met artists all over the world. I brought back art from these artists and opened a boutique. I sold imported and local goods, and I was always in search of anything that inspired people. I noticed people were in search of meaningful and uplifting gifts; my retail shop was the perfect place for me to create products and see how people responded.
My first product was the Millennium Angel, and with great success I saw that something small can be very impactful to someone and I was thrilled! A few years after the Millennium Angel was the creation of Blessing Rings. For over 11 years Blessing Rings have been touching lives and I have had the great privilege to hear these stories personally. When customers call to share how receiving a Blessing Ring meant so much to them, I truly feel like I am accomplishing in life was I was intended to do. I get a huge rush anytime I place a Blessing Ring in the hand of someone I care for, appreciate or respect, and tell them that they have made a difference in my life. When I have a chance to tell people how important they are, I go for it.
I had my shop, Handle with Care, for over 15 years; these were very happy times for me. I went from running a retail shop to creating a full collection of accessories that I now sell to retailers across the globe. I do what I love, it thrills me to know I can be the artist I am, and create heartfelt objects people want to wear or gift.
When I am not designing for Whitney Howard I am also an Eco-Pop artist (I turn cereal boxes into art!), I’m a wanna be chef, a leader of a local Green Team and Mom.

Howard
I'm inspired by the outdoors, people, art. I love acting, mentoring, hiking, trying new things, extreme adventures, and most especially, my family.
Before launching Whitney Howard Designs I was an actor who had the privilege to be in such independent films as Rancho Cucamonga, Slaves of Hollywood and the TV series Wind on Water. After acting, I was a CEO for a cool up-and-coming firm in L.A. and soon after launched Whitney Howard Designs. As a business man I saw the potential of Whitney’s designs being sold on a larger scale. It has been an extraordinary journey starting WHD. I enjoy collaborating with organizations to create custom accessories that help bring awareness to their brand; this continues to be a rewarding experience.
When I am not in the studio spin casting our hand-crafted accessories, I am out with friends and family loving what life has to offer. I enjoy giving back to organizations like Summit for Someone, volunteering at my children’s school or mentoring kids in their Venturing Programs.
I have climbed many peaks and I seek more. My bucket list includes Mt. Everest, John Muir Trail, and Camino De Santiago to name a few. When I am not with my family, I'm most happy amongst the trees and nature.
